I have read through the Industry 4.0 reference architecture (RAMI) and I believe I have some understanding of I4.0.

I was thinking how can this effect Automotive software engineering. How can I adapt this in ASE (some technical components, which I am not sure of). Can some of the technical aspect of I4.0 be adapted into some reference architecture in ASE like Autosar?

I first posted this question on stackoverflow, which went unnoticed and someone recommended to post it here for a better discussion. I want to say upfront that reasoning behind this post is just a technical discussion.

Not quite sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you're asking whether Industry 4.0 is being adapted for the automotive industry. If I'm misunderstanding you, edit your post to clarify. However, as that question stands, the answer is yes. From an article on AutomotiveManufacturingSolutions.com:

The advance of the smart factory continues to transform the landscape of automotive manufacturing. With vehicle makers and their suppliers implementing I4.0 at such a fast rate, what benefits are being realised and what challenges are being encountered?

Issued with the July-August 2017 edition of AMS, Industry 4.0 will examine automotive manufacturing’s relationship with the digital revolution, including:

• focus on the practical application of data-driven manufacturing
• interviews with key OEM and tier supplier executives implementing I4.0
• case studies across the automotive manufacturing process

Industry 4.0 will also include our popular From the Industry section – bespoke content that presents your insight, advice and technology to our global readership of OEMs and major tier suppliers.

In other words, they are working on several possible applications of Industry 4.0 for the automotive industry:

  • Manufacturing (practically implementing it)
  • Talking with suppliers to implement Industry 4.0
  • Studying the way things are done in the manufacturing process (presumably to hone abilities to implement)
