Journal Title: LogForum - Year 2018, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory concepts have gained recognition in recent years and have caught the attention of many authors, which has been evident in various publications in recent years. However, the authors of the following paper have recognised the need for an analysis of the implementation steps of the aforementioned concepts. The results of this analysis can differ, depending on prevailing conditions in a particular country and the technologies and knowledge available. Methods: On the basis of a literature analysis, the authors of this paper have studied and listed the main requirements for implementing technologies which allow a factory to be described as a Smart Factory. Basic terminology connected with the concept is also described. Results: On the basis of a self-developed evaluation sheet, and an analysis of literature, the authors have stated the criteria according to which a factory can be described as a Smart Factory, and collated them using an evaluation sheet. Conclusion: The authors would like to start a scientific debate on the topic of Smart Factories, and emphasise the need for detailed analysis of each step of implementation. The results of the paper show the advantages and disadvantages of modern management strategies and can be used as a guide for businesses which are considering implementing this technology.
