Thailand’s progress from the past to the present has been driven in part by a continuously evolving industrial sector. This sector generates revenue through exports, creates employment opportunities, and contributes to the development of workforce skills in engineering, technology, and management. These factors have been essential to propelling industrial growth in alignment with the global development trajectory.
The dynamics of industrial development have evolved into the era of technological transformation known as Industry 4.0, marked by the integration of digital technologies into operational processes to enhance efficiency and reduce production costs. As technology has advanced further—alongside growing awareness of sustainability—it has ushered in a new phase: Industry 5.0. This stage emphasizes collaboration between humans and advanced technologies to drive innovation with a focus on human-centric values and sustainability. It also involves optimizing industrial operations to be more environmentally friendly, paving the way for innovative industrial solutions.
