ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

The evolution of traditional engineering products is moving towards the development of smart products, which are characterized by intelligence, networking and adaptability to the user. Using the elements of Industry 4.0, such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins (DT) and data analytics (BDA), their design, manufacturing and life cycle management are carried out on a new basis. That is why smart engineering products are characterized by self-monitoring, autonomous decision-making and optimization of their work in real time. All this leads to greater satisfaction of their users, due to improved efficiency, reliability and a better user experience. Also, smart products include issues of cyber security, data privacy, interoperability and sustainability, which must be considered in order to fully realize the potential of smart engineering solutions in them. This paper provides an analysis and synthesis of smart engineering products (SEP) from the aspect of their development, characteristics, application examples and future research in this area.
