“…Third, the automotive sector is characterised by sectoral and market dynamics resulting in a specific spatial organisation and distribution of production. The fragmentation of automotive production is based on networks that tend to organise regionally, much more than globally (Jetin, 2018). Regionalisation was favoured by the widespread adoption of modularisation in the 1990s (Sako, 2003) and by the importance to be 'next-door' to car assemblers, especially for Tier 1 suppliers that are located close to (when not fully integrated with) assembly plants, in order to better synchronise just-in-time-delivery of complex modular units (Frigant and Lung, 2002).…”

This paper explores the relationship between inward Foreign Direct Investments and the adoption of industrial robots, across different segments of the automotive value chain. Using the International Federation of Robotics and fDiMarket datasets at a fine level of disaggregation of the automotive sector, we investigate the extent to which FDIs are related to the operational stock of industrial robots in 34 countries over the period 2005-2014. We find distinct patterns linking FDIs and robot adoption for different groups of countries and for different segments of the automotive value chain, that, is assembling and components production. With some relevant exceptions, FDIs are found to be highly correlated with robot adoption in the assembling segment across major leading countries. However, this correlation becomes weak for components production. To explain this differential role of FDIs in robot adoption, we formulate hypotheses around the country-specific drivers of robotisation for the components segment by pointing to the role of domestic ecosystems of suppliers and industrial policy as drivers of technology absorption and diffusion.

“…As well as limited farmers' expertise in agricultural machinery and new technology opposite the campaign "Kitchen of the World". Therefore, if we can develop agricultural machinery with modern technology like the development of powerful engines and the ability to interface with a semi-automatic control system [5], [6] as the organic rice grower needs. This mini multi-purpose vehicle develops from a conventional Thai tractor called the E-Tak.…”

This <span lang="EN-US">research aimed to develop the mini smart multipurpose vehicle (MSMPv) innovative from the conventional agriculture tractor for three objectives. The novel automatic gear modified technique for the MSMPv is proposed, then an idea to enhance peripheral capability through a hitch system. The final purpose is to support the farmer's ability to follow organic agriculture regulations on the issue of contaminated tools and machinery, especially in the rules related to contamination of equipment or machines that cannot share with conventional agricultural production. The organic rice crop plot of Nong Bua Lamphu Province in Thailand has been set to the case study. Here, farmers faced problems; lack of labour, production under an organic system that does not permit chemicals, and limited harvesting. According to the existing technology, this research has developed a typical farm tractor used in the country by inventing a manual transmission engine to an automatic transmission and accessories such as remote control, GPS, camera, and sensors. Thus, the development of this organic rice harvesting prototype should be an approach that provides both the opportunity to raise the self-reliance concept and enhance the knowledge of the development of innovative tools for farmers simultaneously.</span>
