Abstract

Robots is one of the attributes of Industry 4.0. The implementation of industrial robots is an indication that country is reforming its industry to meet new immerging requirements; however, the changes in industry create new workforce roles that test the countries readiness for industrial transformation. We analyze four countries that has the most industrial robots’ implementation in the world - Singapore, Rep. of Korea, Germany and Japan – with respect to how they are dealing with filling in the immerging roles with skilled and high-skilled workers. The analysis showed that all countries experience shortage of workforce, but there is no pattern in how they are filling in the gaps.
