宏觀科技的發展，新興科技根本性地改變了，物件本身當如何被製造與呈現。而被視為下一波工業革命的先進製造，其複雜、創造性、客製化、數位化、智慧化，以及產品與服務結合之重要特徵和本質，將主宰著下世代產品暨其生產過程。依據美國官方的定義，先進製造係一個統包型的行為活動，倚靠相關的資通訊科技之使用，並且，亦牽涉使用到前端的材料，以及物理與生物科學與技術之應用。本文首先從全球數位經濟與貿易談起，試圖建構起物聯網、巨量資料與未來智慧系統平台間之關聯。其次，通過研析國際間推動先進製造之基礎法制，以及相關策略配套，提出對於我國未來推動生產力4.0在法制政策面的建議，作為我國在此方興未艾領域之借鏡與參考。

Throughout the history, emerging technologies have fundamentally changed how things are made. It also progressively transforms how human beings behave in realties. "Advanced Manufacturing" being widely recognized as the next industrial revolution is characterized as complex, creative, customized, digital, smart and intelligent, and bundling of goods and services. It is going to reshape the next generation products and its method. By definition given through the relevant authorities, the so-called "Advanced Manufacturing" is a family of activities that (i) depend upon the use of information and communication technology (ICT), and/or (ii) make use of cutting edge materials and emerging capabilities enabled by the physical and biological sciences and their relevant applications. The paper gets started by analyzing the trend of the global digital trade. It tries to map and construct the multilateral and interactive relationship in the complex world of Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Machine-to-Machine (M2M), and the smart systems under the cap of "System Integration (SI)." The study goes through the relevant laws and policies in promoting the advanced manufacturing in both of the United States, and the upper-level with some of the member states in the European Union. Recall from this megatrend, Taiwan, as an active member in the world trading system, thus, should not fall behind its international counterparts in the market and global supply chain. In 2015, Taiwan officially launched the "Taiwan Productivity 4.0 Initiative." Under this scenario, the paper tries to raise some of the preliminary recommendations in the legal perspective for the initiative's future implementations.
