面對全球化競爭、產品生命週期縮短、客戶需求多元化、勞動力成本增加、材料成本增加、生產必要能源供給不確定性、以及永續發展與環保意識的壓力，光電設備商產業必須採取相對應的策略。就光電設備商產業而言，人工智慧機械及工業物聯網的整合應用，加以串聯運算系統、通訊系統、控制系統為核心，建立雲端服務與智慧製造的機制，可作為其進入工業4.0的管道。另一方面，光電設備商產業除了廠商本身對工業4.0的追求外，政府個部門相關政策的支持亦是提升產業競爭力的參考依據。本文探討光電設備商產業在鑽石模型中各項因素其核心競爭力的關鍵，檢視光電競爭力策略如何運用互補性資源之議題、如何與國家政策與國家經濟定位作結合，如何整合現有競爭利基，調整發展策略，建立光電設備商產業中特有之角色與定位。研究發現，光電設備商認為欲達到工業4.0的規模與效能，設備商必須具備應有的基本條件，而在光電設備商在台灣光電產業中的發展性有侷限，設備商必須尋求新的開發機會，以開發新的潛力市場作為展現產業競爭力的手段。

To facewith global competitiveness, multiple demands, the increase of labor costs, the shortening of life span of product, and the pressures of environmental protection, the optical equipment manufacturers have to deal with them and try to upgrade through the applications such as intellectual machines, internets, computing system, communication system, and control system. To seek Industry 4.0, the optical equipment manufacturers also need to be supported by the relevant policies to set necessary facilities and infrastructure. The study is to discuss how optical equipment manufacturers can improve their competitiveness and occupy the advantage positions under the possible business chances and governmental economic policies. The study found that albeit optical equipment manufacturers can be upgraded from the basic optical infrastructure, the market in Taiwan however is restricted; optical equipment manufacturers should develop new potential market to show the competitiveness.
