對於建置一套系統，許多業主最擔心的莫過於建置成本；對此，劉建伸坦言，系統本身的確不便宜，從導入初期至今已經投入 8 位數的成本，但後續帶來的效益也相當明顯，像是養殖戶過去都得長時間留守漁塭，在導入系統後，可將平均每天 8 小時的工作時間降低至 6.5 小時。
人力成本也可進一步降低，王靜儀估算，透過導入系統，每 100 公頃養殖面積的人力可從 33 人降低至 10 人，節省近 2,000 萬的人力成本。

蘇文彬，【5G專網工廠現場直擊】螺絲廠結合5G、大數據分析提高生產力、降低成本，加速產業智慧化轉型，iThome，2021-12-10
「一顆相同的螺絲，依照客戶訂單需求，不同的呎吋、處理方式，產生上萬種品項」，位於高雄的螺絲業者久陽精密總經理吳居諺一語道出螺絲產業現況。
在高雄梓官、橋頭、崗山一帶，為國內螺絲產業群聚地，臺灣將近有1,800多家螺絲業者，所生產的螺絲不只用於國內，也外銷至國外，從航太、醫療、電動車到3C電子，都有採用螺絲，臺灣更有「螺絲王國」之名，更是僅次於中國、德國，為全球第三大扣件出口國。
然而，螺絲產業卻面臨一些問題，由於客戶訂單需求的多樣化，導致螺絲生產少量多樣的現象，以久陽精密為例，該公司一年生產的螺絲品項就多達1萬3千種以上，每年產出約17億隻螺絲，在製造過程中，消耗約5萬件模具，使用7萬5千個船形物流桶。這樣複雜的生產過程中，過去大多是仰賴老師傅，以人工方式回報生產數據，再由專人登打輸入，但容易因為手寫錯誤，或是手動登打輸入數據也可能出錯。此外，傳產業的製造現場勞動人力還面臨逐漸老化，經驗不易傳承，人才斷層的危機。...

Tava Lennon Olsen, Brian Tomlin (2020) Industry 4.0: Opportunities and Challenges for Operations Management. Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, 22(1):113-122. (pdf)
Industry 4.0 connotes a new industrial revolution centered around cyber-physical systems. It posits that the real-time connection of physical and digital systems, along with new enabling technologies, will change the way that work is done and therefore, how work should be managed. It has the potential to break, or at least change, the traditional operations trade-offs among the competitive priorities of cost, flexibility, speed, and quality. This article describes the technologies inherent in Industry 4.0 and the opportunities and challenges for research in this area. The focus is on goods-producing industries, which include both the manufacturing and agricultural sectors. Specific technologies discussed include additive manufacturing, the internet of things, blockchain, advanced robotics, and artificial intelligence.

余至浩，善用IT克服冷鏈運輸大挑戰，裕利讓疫苗物流履歷可全程追溯，iThome，2021-07-16
溫度控制
COVID-19疫苗配送的過程中，費而隱指出，運輸端是最大挑戰。他解釋，疫苗還在倉儲冷藏庫或冷凍庫內時，對於溫度監控相較容易許多，但只要出了物流中心，疫苗的溫度就會一直變化，很難保持恆溫，例如司機開關車門或打開保冷箱，它的溫度就會產生波動，「所以車上溫度控制要非常小心。」費而隱強調。

Paul Marks, The Future of Supply Chains, Communications of the ACM, July 2021, Vol. 64, No. 7, Pages 19-21.
Today's supply chains are labor-intensive and expensive to run. A number of autonomous systems that reduce the human factor are about to change all that.
What do the sidewalks around us, the airspace above us, interstate freeways, and deep ocean shipping lanes have in common? The answer is that they are all places where developers of autonomous technology are trying to revolutionize the economics of supply chains. The plan is to use robotic technology to deliver anything from packages to take-out food, groceries, or bulk freight in ways that can reduce the logistics industry's dependence on that most expensive of supply chain costs: human labor. if the use of electric drivetrains can cut carbon emissions too, so much the better.
Jay Lee, Industrial AI: Applications with Sustainable Performance, Springer, 2020.
This book introduces Industrial AI in multiple dimensions. Industrial AI is a systematic discipline which focuses on developing, validating and deploying various machine learning algorithms for industrial applications with sustainable performance. Combined with the state-of-the-art sensing, communication and big data analytics platforms, a systematic Industrial AI methodology will allow integration of physical systems with computational models. The concept of Industrial AI is in infancy stage and may encompass the collective use of technologies such as Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems and Big Data Analytics under the Industry 4.0 initiative where embedded computing devices, smart objects and the physical environment interact with each other to reach intended goals. A broad range of Industries including automotive, aerospace, healthcare, semiconductors, energy, transportation, mining, construction, and industrial automation could harness the power of Industrial AI to gain insights into the invisible relationship of the operation conditions and further use that insight to optimize their uptime, productivity and efficiency of their operations. In terms of predictive maintenance, Industrial AI can detect incipient changes in the system and predict the remains useful life and further to optimize maintenance tasks to avoid disruption to operations.
