Industry 4.0 buzz has moved from hype to investment and real benefit today. Many companies expect to significantly increase their portfolios of digital products, services, and operations. The companies have the mission to have highly digitalized horizontal and vertical value chain processes. The cemen industry as one of the heavy manufacturing industries with many production equipment and huge energy consumption has a target to increase plant efficiency in the equipment, energy utilization, productivity, and production maintenance cost by implementing Industry 4.0 transformation. Cement market competition become more challenging and harder in Indonesia with the growth of new cement players. As the result, capacity was getting higher and higher whereas the demand increase was not significant so the utilization of the cement industry drop to 60% approximately. Therefore, the need for cost efficiency is more urgent for business sustainability and one of the key factors is Industry 4.0 transformation. This research will focus on the assessment and actual implementation of Industry 4.0 in the cement plant PT. Bangun Perkasa currently and the gaps to be improved for accelerating industry 4.0 and deliver more benefit. The research methodology is using a qualitative method with structured interview and purposive sampling. Currently PT. Bangun Perkasa is on level 3 with the predicate “Company is at MATURE step in Industry 4.0 transformation” by using INDI 4.0 (Indonesia Industry 4.0 Readiness Index) tool from Indonesian Ministry of Industry. Technologies that are considered important to be accelerated and deliver more benefits for plant efficiency such as big data analytics and advanced algorithms, smart sensors, mobile devices, IoT platforms, and advanced human-machine interfaces.
