Industry 4.0 vision and associated technologies are rapidly adopted in several industrial sectors to gain the benefits of creating smart cyber-physical systems and operations. Some sectors, e.g. manufacturing, oil and gas, offshore wind energy, have progressed in developing digitization strategies, executing pilot projects and progressing toward mature implementation of industry 4.0 vision. Offshore Oil and Gas industry highly believes in the potential industrial and societal impacts of digital transformation, due to the need for stochastic and remote operations. Azerbaijan as one of the countries that heavily depend on the Oil and Gas industry is developing more projects in the Caspian Sea. There are several worldwide challenges, mainly, lack of standards, business models, ready products/services and competent and skilled employees. Fortunately, specific developed countries are working hard to standardize industry 4.0 architecture. Moreover, large-scale companies are creating alliances to create a trustful and long-term business model. Furthermore, large-scale companies of information and operational technology are creating robust products and services to be commercially available off the shelf. In terms of education and training, many worldwide universities are upgrading their programs, curriculums, teaching approaches with the goal to support the industry with competent future employees and entrepreneurs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is, to present the status of engineering education programs in adapting the industry 4.0 vision in Azerbaijan and address the skills that are required for future employment. In order to present the targeted status, the curriculums of all engineering education programs at the master level were collected and analyzed. However, five of them were directly adapting industry 4.0 vision and relevant for industry 4.0. Moreover, a semi-structured interview with industrial managers was applied to extract the future required skills. This study can be considered as a first step in developing a roadmap for engineering education, particularly industrial engineering, to adopt industry 4.0 vision at the national level.

The new approach is to create a multicomponent composite material on a basis of mineral component by defining extreme value of the multi-variable function. It is decided to carry out theoretical analyze first. For theoretical analysis, the effects of component quantity on the parameters to be determined by experiments and in all cases the results to be theorized. Thus, the mathematical formula for the relation of anti-corrosion with components has been determined. In order to evaluate anti-corrosion it is defined multi-variablefunctional relation and with this function it is achieved extreme values on optimum values of each component. The new material is compared to traditional anti –corrosion material that are common. Currently implemented anti –corrosion material doesn’t require needs of modern technological expectation. From this point of view anti-corrosion materials need to have appropriate technical parameters. Traditional anti-corrosion materials basically have one or two components and these materials has protective film layer. Disadvantage of this film layer is whole layer can easily be destructed from weak point. This is due to the fact that traditional materials form film layer in connection areas. Compare with this one the new material has discrete structure. On this basis, the combination of protective and constructive material binding based on adhesion and cohesion. The structure not allows material to be destructed from weak point. On a basis of achieved theoretical results optimal quantity of each component is clarified, anti-corrosion material is made and tested. The novelty of the approach is to achieve high quality anti-corrosion material by defining an extreme value of the multi-variable function.

The new approach is to create a multicomponent composite material on a basis of mineral component by defining extreme value of the multi-variable function. It is decided to carry out theoretical analyze first. For theoretical analysis, the effects of component quantity on the parameters (e.g. anti-corrosion and temperature resistance) to be determined by experiments and in all cases the results to be theoreticized by approximation method. Thus, the mathematical formula for the relation of anti-corrosion and temperature resistance with components has been determined. In order to evaluate anti-corrosion and thermo-resistant resistance it is defined multi-variablefunctional relation and with this function it is achieved extreme values on optimum values of each component. The new material is compared to traditional anti -corrosion and thermoresistant material that are common. Currently implemented anti -corrosion and thermo-resistant material doesn't require needs of modern technological expectation. From this point of view anticorrosion and thermo-resistant materials need to have appropriate technical parameters. Traditional anti-corrosion materials basically have one or two components and these materials has protective film layer. Disadvantage of this film layer is whole layer can easily be destructed from weak point. This is due to the fact that traditional materials form film layer in connection areas. Compare with this one the new material has discrete structure. On this basis, the combination of protective and constructive material binding based on adhesion and cohesion. The structure not allows material to be destructed from weak point. Compare traditional thermo-resistant material new material approximately two times lighter than traditional ones. In order to increase the high temperature and corrosion resistance of this material, a multi-component spatial structure is formed. On a basis of achieved theoretical results optimal quantity of each component is clarified, anticorrosion and thermo-resistant materials are made and tested. For example, 5 components thermoresistant material is tested up to 1500°C and not observed any sigh of destruction. On anticorrosive materials not observed corrosion symptoms. The novelty of the approach is to achieve high quality anti-corrosion and thermo-resistant material by defining an extreme value of the multi-variable function.

Shaft misalignment is a common fault in rotating machines in the industry. Inadequate coupling alignment of rotating shafts often results in serious vibration problems and premature machine component failure. This article introduces the concept of using a laser shaft alignment system to improve equipment reliability, maintenance efficiency, and reduce rotating component wear. This paper explores the concept of implementation of laser shaft alignment system on rotating machines in the Bulla field, Platform 6. For this purpose, an appropriate tool has been selected for further implementation. As compared to a traditional mechanical method, the proposed electronic approach has more accurate results and optimize the performance gained via the previous techniques. Additionally, the application of the proposed system is user friendly and faster compared to the previous method. The measurement procedure is issued as per system manufacturer recommendation, and manufacturer video training will be submitted to appropriate maintenance staff. The novelty of the approach is to increase the reliability of rotating machines on Platform 6 in the Bulla field and develop Company maintenance processes by implementing a new laser measurement system.
