This paper seeks to explore this theoretically, by looking at key technologies from Industry 4.0 that might solve the problem of the Covid-19 pandemic. There are several technologies from Industry 4.0 that can overcome the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, for example AI and Additive manufacturing. It is hoped that from the results of this research experience can be drawn for the application of industry 4.0, especially during the current Covid-19 pandemic.Keywords: Industry 4.0, Covid-19 Pandemic, industry challenges
