Abstract

The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the formation of the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, and key methods and principles, which are classified as part of Industry 4.0. It creates a comprehensive overview of the interconnection of all these principles and methods. It highlights the importance of data collection during the production process and the fact that this data doesn’t have to come from the machines in production, it can be information about products, tool location data or data about various environmental properties inside a factory. The theoretical part also explains the concept of smart sensors and describes many different types of communication between sensors and control units. These control units are, in most cases PLCs or other microprocessor-based applications. Practical part reports on all the changes performed on the selected educational model from Fischer Technik company. This educational model, in its original state, represented a manufacturing machine, non-compliant to the standards of Industry 4.0. By making a series of adjustments to the education model and creating running computer applications for virtualization, some principles and methods of Industry 4.0 are met. The principles that can be presented on the educational model after applying the adjustments include SCADA system control, Big Data, Virtual Twin, product personification, and many others. These adjustments can help with further optimization of the production.
