ABSTRACT

The development of the industrial revolution 4.0 will certainly be a new problem in The Ceper
Metal Casting Industry if it is not accompanied by technological developments. This research has an
important goal which is to be reference data for determining policies to government, to provide protection
and support the metal casting industry players. Interviews and questionnaires become a method to collect
this data and there were 110 respondents. The method to process the data used SPSS 18 and Excel. 30
respondents from outside the sample have been tested for validity and reliability. The results are reliable,
76.5 ≥ 0.5. The data showed that 47.3% of respondents thought that their human resources ready to faced
industrial revolution 4.0. And then, 50.9% of respondents assumed that the metal casting industry still used
manual systems in the manufacturing process. Therefore the conclusion is that industrial revolution 4.0 has
not yet been fully implemented in the metal casting industry because the technology used still manual and
not yet automatic.

Keywords: technology; metal; casting; revolution 4.0.

INTRODUCTION
The Metal Industry is a metal casting
industrial area that has been established since
ancient times. This industrial center has core
business as a metal casting expert. Various kinds
In its journey, the development of metal casting
technology has little and little impact on the
craftsmen of the metal industry in Ceper. For
business people who are able and ready to
compete will certainly be able to survive and
develop. But, it will happen for business actors
who do not have openness to the development of
the times.

Industry 4.0 was born from the idea of the
fourth industrial revolution. European
Parliamentary Research Service in Davies (2015)
said that the industrial revolution occurred four
times. The first industrial revolution took place
in England in 1784 where the invention of steam
engines and mechanization began to replace
human work. The second revolution took place
at the end of the 19th century in which
production machines powered by electricity were
used for mass production activities. The use of
computer technology for manufacturing
automation starting in 1970 marked the third
industrial revolution. At present, the rapid
development of sensor technology,
interconnection and data analysis has led to the
idea of integrating all of these technologies into
various fields of industry.
The development of the industrial
revolution 4.0 will certainly become a new
turmoil if it is not matched by adequate readiness

and knowledge. Therefore research is needed
that focuses on discussing the knowledge and
readiness of the flat metal industry center on the
industrial revolution 4.0. With this study, it is
expected to be able to provide an overview and
input for further development activities, so as to
be able to maintain the existence and existence of
the flat casting industry center.
At this time Industry 4.0 began and new trends
occurred in various industries (Kemper, 2016).
According to Kemper (2016) Companies that are
ready to welcome the industrial revolution 4.0
are companies that can build production
ecosystems based on the Industry 4.0 concept,
such as companies that can provide network
infrastructure for the Industrial Internet. For
developed countries, Industry 4.0 can be a way to
regain infrastructure competitiveness, especially
for Western European countries, which are not
currently experiencing cuts in electricity costs
like in the US.
As for developing countries, Industry 4.0
can help simplify the production supply chain.
This is of course very much needed to reduce the
rising production costs. 2011 marks the first
official use of the term Industry 4.0. Publicity
and demonstrations of how this could benefit the
company began to appear in the presentation. In
2013, the German manufacturing industry chose
to invest in the Industry 4.0 process and the
German government increased funding, which
led to the Industry 4.0 Platform being created. In
2014, digital product manufacturing activities
and use of IoT began to occur (Kemper, 2016).
The development of IoT is in line with
Industry 4.0, although to date there is no
definitive definition of IoT, research in the field
of IoT is still in the development stage.
Following are some alternative definitions put
forward to understand IoT. According to Ashton
K (2009) the initial definition of IoT is that the
Internet of Things has the potential to change the
world as the Internet did. According to IDCH
(2016) "A Things" on IoT can be defined as
subjects such as people with heart implant
monitors, farm animals with biochip
transponders, a car that has a built-in sensor to
warn the driver when tire pressure is low. So far,
IoT is most closely related to machine-to-
machine communication in manufacturing and
electricity, oil and gas. Products are built with
Machine to machine communication capabilities

that are often referred to as "smart" systems. For
example, smart cables, smart meters, smart grid
sensors According to Atzori, et al. (2010).
Changes in the industry in the form of
additive manufacturing, sophisticated materials,
intelligent machinery, automatic machinery, and
other technologies, usher in a new era of physical
production. At the same time, increased
connectivity and more sophisticated data
collection and analytical capabilities made
possible by IoT have led to a shift towards an
information-based economy. With IoT, data,
besides physical objects, are a source of value
and connectivity makes it possible to build
smarter supply chains, manufacturing processes,
and even ecosystems from upstream to
downstream (Sniderman et al., 2016).
The development of the industrial
revolution 4.0 will certainly become a new
turmoil if it is not matched by adequate readiness
and knowledge. Therefore, research is needed
that focuses on discussing the knowledge and
readiness of metal industry centers for the
industrial revolution 4.0.
Current literature regarding the work
subject should be examined and the differences
of the said work from the past, similar works
should be presented clearly in the introduction
section.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This type of research has been conducted
in the form of quantitative descriptive research.
The method that will be used in this research is
the Explanatory Survey Method. Explanatory
Survey Method is a survey research method that
aims to test hypotheses by basing on
observations of the consequences that occur and
looking for factors that might be the cause
through certain data (Rusidi, 1992). This method
is limited to the understanding of sample surveys
aimed at testing hypotheses that have been
previously formulated (testing research).
Although the description also contains a
description, but as a relational study the focus
lies in explaining the relationships between
variables. According to Sanapiah Faisal (2007:
18) explains that: Explanation research is a study
that is intended to find and develop theories, so
the results or research products can explain why
or why (any antecedent variables that affect) the

occurrence of a symptom or certain social
statements.
This study involved 110 respondents
consisting of 3 employees of the Klaten Metal
Casting Industry. These companies include Kop.
Batur Jaya, Pt. Aneka Adhi Logam and PT. Cipta
Guna Lestari. This study uses the SPPS
application to test the validity and reliability of
the questionnaire. Also, conducting crosstab and
chi-square tests to test the relationship and
significance.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Test results with the Frostst and Chi-
square tests that have been carried out with the
age factor and educational background on the
readiness of the Flat Industry HR in the Industrial
Revolution Era 4.0 are presented in the table
whose data has been processed below.
Table 1. Technology Readiness * Industry 4.0

The minimum expected count is ,16
If assumed, the first hypothesis; Ho: there
is a relationship between technology and
readiness to face the industrial revolution 4.0.
H1: there is no relationship between technology
and readiness to face revolution 4.0. The second
hypothesis; Ho: there is a relationship between
human resources and readiness to face the
industrial revolution 4.0. H1: there is no
relationship between human resources and
readiness to face the industrial revolution 4.0.
Thus, the results of the first hypothesis
chi-square analysis show that a value of 0.00
<0.05 means that Ho is accepted and H1 is
rejected. Frostab analysis shows that all
respondents' age categories of 50.9% agree that
the technology used in the manufacturing process
is still manual and not automatic. 40.9%
disagree, 1.8 strongly disagree and 6.4% strongly
agree. So based on the survey above, the majority
stated that technology was not ready to face the
4.0 revolution.
The results of the second hypothesis chi-
square analysis show that a value of 0.005 <0.05
means that Ho is accepted and H1 is rejected.
Frostab analysis shows that all categories of
human resources in the face of the industrial
revolution 4.0 of 47.3% are ready. 40% were not
ready, 2.7% were very unprepared and 10% were
very ready. So based on the survey above, the
majority stated that human resources in the metal
casting industry were ready to face the 4.0
revolution.
CONCLUSION
The conclusions of this study state that
there is a link between technological updates and
the readiness of human resources for the
industrial revolution 4.0. however, this is not
matched by the readiness of the technology
because the majority of the metal casting
17

industry in Ceper still uses manual systems and

is not yet automated.
