Abstract

This paper deals with the use of advanced manufacturing technologies in three Balkan countries: Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia. In our case these technologies are from digital factory technologies group. The use of selected digital factory technologies is observed through the eyes of Industry 4.0 concept, and we focus on Industry 4.0 readiness index. We present a possible Industry 4.0 readiness index and assess Industry 4.0 readiness of Slovenian, Croatian and Serbian manufacturing companies. Results are based on a sample of around 300 manufacturing companies, whose data were obtained through the 2018/19 European Manufacturing Survey edition. The results are presented with the use of descriptive statistics. Results show that the use of specific advanced manufacturing technologies in these three countries is quite diverse, and that Industry 4.0 readiness differ.
