Abstract:

Recent technological developments and innovations accross the world has led to significant increases in industrial productivity since the beginning of the industrial revolutions. Steam-powered factories in the 19th century started mass production in the early twentieth century, and in the 1970s the industry became automated. In the following years, the industrial sector has further developed, with advances of industrial technology, particularly information technology, mobile communications and e-commerce. By the end of the Industry 3.0 revolution, which was the period of electronics and informatics (1970-2000), digital technologies, intelligent robots, large database, internet of objects, cloud system composed the industrial revolution of today (industry 4.0 or digital transformation). In this way, it is ensured that the value chains are integrated to each other in production and as a result, high efficiency is achieved with low production costs and increased production. Therefore, countries have been able to gain global competitive advantage by increasing their growth rate with increasing investment. In our country's industry, it is aimed to provide that production, quality and efficiency are increased by cyber physical systems developed with industry 4.0, creating common data, design and production bases. In order to ensure positive results from these studies, relevant ministries have prepared industry strategy documents. In this study, industrial and technological activities carried out in the digital transformation process in Turkey were examined.
