The industry 4.0 in china: A review of industry and information integration

We conduct a visualization analysis of the state-of-the-art research on the industry information integration of China. We use data from CNKI and VIP databases in 2008-2016 to implement multidimensional scaling and cluster based on keyword co-occurrence analysis. According to the scientific knowledge map, the research genre of China's integration of industry and information can be divided into connotation research, industrial-manufacturing transformation research, information technology promotion research and development strategy and service research. The research starts from connotation research, then transforms to intelligence/service-manufacturing research, and finally the research turns into manufacturing/information technology innovation study. Our research findings provide useful guidance for future studies of the industry information integration.
