Abstract
The paper is focused on the area of the constantly evolving industrial revolution both at the level of individual local economic opportunities and on a global scale. One of the tools of this time called Industry 4.0 is the TestBed 4.0 technology, which helps in its development and opens up opportunities for its use both in research and in practice in manufacturing companies. The paper describes the possibilities and capabilities of the laboratory, which was established as the first of its kind in the Slovak Republic on the campus of the Technical University in Košice in order to combine research activities with practical use directly in the production business processes. Its role is also to involve students in these processes, who, based on the acquired knowledge and experience, will strengthen their position in the labour market after completing their studies. The paper includes a description of available technologies, as well as several case studies carried out at the workplace where this laboratory is located, mainly in the field of industrial and digital engineering.
Highlights
Industry 4.0 is a revolution in the development of production possibilities and technology of today and its near future
By enabling students to work in such a specialized workplace and to encounter real business problems in practice, students will become invaluable after graduating from the labour market in this emerging area of the new era of Industry 4.0 [34,35]
4.0workplace, workplace, which is directly subject to and demonstrates what can be solved with the help of digitization in the currently evolving era in product manufacturing and service delivery, and in the entire development of society, such as Industry 4.0 is undoubted
Summary
Industry 4.0 is a revolution in the development of production possibilities and technology of today and its near future. It is possible to verify new technologies, products, systems and concepts of digitization and digital transformation They are used for research, development and innovation projects, and often for educational and demonstration purposes. Such a solution saves time, money and the environment because the operation of the production plant is verified in a virtual environment, does not burn energy, fuel and does not emit emissions This technology provides a large number of possibilities that can help either in the design of new production facilities and services or in the optimization of existing ones, without a need for large investments in other technologies [2]. TestBed focused on Industry 4.0 processes in Slovakia [3] This technology can help small and medium-sized enterprises in particular to gain a. People who have the necessary training in process of digitization of can become invaluable to such companies candigitization become invaluable to such companies on the market. on [5].the market. [5]
