САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

In just the last decade, the concept of the smart factory like a key element of modern manufacturing has turned from a curious idea into a reality. This was greatly contributed by progress  in the field of sensors and sensor networks, the introduction of intelligent functionality and their increasingly affordable prices. With the help of sensors, devices based on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and appropriate platforms for connection and control, not only newly built high-tech plants, but also existing production capacities can be completely digitized. Thanks to digital factories, modern industrial manufacturing has evolved–from the production of various components and products to a complex product creation process, including planning, development and design, logistics and supply chain management. The entire constellation of the so-called disruptive technological innovations, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, edge computing, cloud platform, robotic process automation (RPA), virtual and augmented reality, machine vision and many others are in the function of achieving a common aim–optimization of quality, efficiency, productivity, security, cost and profit management. Among the key trends that define the development of the modern concept of smart factories are: IIoT, additive manufacturing, predictive maintenance, Big Data, Data mining etc. The characteristic of the new generation of smart production is the transition to market models – from B2B (Business to Business) on B2C (Business to Consumer).
