This paper deals with a design and a shape optimization of a tool that combines punching of a tarpaulin with the tarpaulin grommet pressing in one operation. The tarpaulin grommet 0.5 mm thick with a diameter of 10 mm is made of DX51D+Z275MAC steel. The designed tool and its main shape dimensions are verified by using a numerical simulation in an ANSYS Workbench software and subsequently also by a practical experiment, i.e. verification and debugging functionality in cooperation with H + D kovo company.

The article describes a proactive approach to smart maintenance and smart logistics. It presents the areas through which all companies must pass. For its successful implementation it is necessary to introduce appropriate management practices also into the area of maintenance. Irrespective of the level of maintenance work in a particular organization, gradual development of maintenance management is needed. The goal is excellent quality of equipment maintenance. The logistics of tomorrow will be supported, to a high extent, by logistics assistance systems. The logistics world is changing -key terms such as Smart Logistics, digitization of the supply chain or Industry 4.0 are widely discussed and already mega trends.

The main topic of the submitted paper is intelligent logistics and its integration into production systems. In the beginning, the problem that lies in the inadequate knowledge of the internal state has been defined. The new society-wide trends that will originate in a few years are also outlined. Those trends will affect factories and their logistics systems on a large scale. Therefore, it is necessary to have a strategy that takes these new trends into consideration. In this manuscript, is described a strategy for intelligent production systems, as well as technologies for different types of production-logistic strategies. Many of these technologies can be applied together with the Digital Twin. The Digital Twin is a new concept in the field of designing production and logistics systems in the factory. Finally, we provide a description of the implementation of the Digital Twin into the production and logistics system.
