Last several years, industrial and information technology field have undergone profound changes, entering "Industry 4.0" era. Industry4.0, as a representative of the future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, evolved from embedded system to the Cyber Physical System (CPS). Manufacturing will be via the Internet, to achieve Internal and external network integration, toward the intelligent direction. This paper introduces the development of Industry 4.0, and the Cyber Physical System is introduced with the example of the Wise Information Technology of 120 (WIT120), then the application of Industry 4.0 in intelligent manufacturing is put forward through the digital factory to the intelligent factory. Finally, the future development direction of Industry 4.0 is analyzed, which provides reference for its application in intelligent manufacturing.
