Modernization stages of the Industry 3.0 company and projection route for the Industry 4.0 virtual factory

Abstract

The task is to create the Industry 4.0 company functioning on humanless and paperless principles of production. There are two ways how to complete this task. The option number one is to modernize the existing companies of the Industry 3.0 which means a smooth implementation into informative and production infrastructure of the company the components and technologies which guarantee a slow evolution of research and development institute and item designing companies. The option number two, the example given, is based on solution on some project tasks to choose the components and technologies in their iterative form. There is a scheme how to modernize an Industry 3.0 company and the expected results which allow to project with existing companies new digital factories and smart factories of the Industry 4.0. There is a route how to project systematically a virtual factory of the Industry 4.0 as the main company to support all stages of the item life cycle for different industries. Modernization quality criteria for project and production companies and creation of virtual factories define the economic criterion of company activity.

A sequential roadmap to Industry 6.0: Exploring future manufacturing trends

“…The inflow of the user‐data generated a potential for usage into the production scheme. A six‐stage virtual factory projection system was discussed for setting up smart industries and another method was suggested for the transformation of industrial workflow to adopt digitalized designs with smart and interconnected flow lines [8]. The mid‐latter part of the third industrial revolution oversaw the commercialization of networking with the emergence of ISPs from 1989 onwards [9].…”

Application of Quality Tools to Reduce Failure Identification in an Automotive Production Line

“…For [1] companies currently implement automations and digital information controls systems to reduce paper documentation and facilitate the management of their process information throughout the product life cycle. This has been a major activity in the economy, and companies have the option to either upgrade current systems through gradual and slower automation, or else replace all of the software used and its elements, which allows for faster change in this transition of technologies and concepts.…”

“…Industry in general is undergoing a transformation related to the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept (or at least modernization of Industry 3.0) in which automation levels are much higher compared to current facilities and processes become more robust and consequently have greater reliability and data transparency according to [1]. [2] concluded in a study with auto parts companies in Thailand that total quality management is mainly affected by strategic planning, product quality, knowledge management and the application of new technologies and innovations in their processes, and also states that this last point (Technology and Innovation) will be determinant in defining the level of competitiveness of these companies in the market.…”
