“…Cloud computing and the Internet of things is one of the essential characteristics of Industry 4.0 and its use in production planning [32], while at the same time, there is an absence of practical applications of Industry 4.0 technologies in the field of production planning. A solution that uses cloud manufacturing principles as cloud-based process planning is a system that uses cloud technology and services to define process plans, as well as expert heuristic knowledge to optimize process plans and select the best solutions [33].…”

This paper presents the development and implementation of Integrated Multilevel Planning Solution (IMPS) a solution adhering to Industry 4.0 and 5.0 standards. Today, companies face challenges in understanding how new orders would impact existing production plans when there is limited traceability and information flow in their manufacturing process. The digital transformation of the production planning system enables a company to overcome the current challenges; however, to overcome the usual barriers of digital transformation a specialized solution for each company should be developed. IMPS was developed by first understanding the problems in the existing production planning process through a gemba (jap. for “actual place”) walk and interviews with stakeholders. The solution was designed with a human-centric approach and consists of seven components (Design System App (DSA), SAP (Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing), Microsoft Project, Microsoft Project Server, The Project Group (TPG) PSLink software, TPG ProjectLink, Tableau, and Smart Digital Assistance), which are well connected and integrated into the existing design. The system is accessible to the end user to find information, as the principles of Industry 5.0 require. A multivariant and multiuser planning capability was achieved with an interconnected Gantt chart of the master project with the ability to drill down into individual projects and custom views for various types of internal users. Most of the production planning solutions found in the literature were optimization-oriented, related to the improvements of the calculation methods within the planning activities in order to achieve a better efficiency of the planning system. Here, the goal was to achieve a system architecture that enabled a unique solution for design-to-order manufacturing without complex interventions into the existing system, which overcomes the most common barriers in Industry 4.0 implementations which are the human resistance to change, high investments, a lack of needed skills and knowledge for its implementation and use, and challenges of the adaptability to the new system. IMPS (ver 1.0) is a hybrid solution for SMEs, which aims to advance their planning system from the most commonly used Excel sheets towards a more advanced system but has financial and knowledge limitations from its implementation of highly complex software (ver. 1.0).

Process Planning in Industry 4.0—Current State, Potential and Management of Transformation

et al. 2020

The implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept enables the flexibility, modularity and self-optimization of the manufacturing process. Process planning, placed in the value chain between construction and physical manufacturing, therefore, also demands digital transformation, while management of the transformation towards the new digital framework represents one of the most demanding challenges. Continuing the research on its structure and role within the smart factory, the main motivation for this work was to recognize the potential of the digital transformation of process planning elements, and to define the key dimensions that are essential for the readiness factor calculation and later transformational strategy formation, but also to recognize the current level of awareness of the Industry 4.0 concept among the process planners, along with the current use of its elements and key priorities for the transformation. The research has therefore been conducted in 34 Croatian metal machining companies, within which the influence of company size, level of education and familiarity with Industry 4.0 on final results and the stage of development have been investigated. The results have shown that the company size has a significant influence on the development stage and the use of certain elements wherein small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have already implemented certain digital elements, while they also tend to have a better fundamental infrastructure when using complex process planning methods, unlike others, which are still highly traditional. Organization and human resources have been ranked with the highest priority for change, while target goals for hardware and software have been set, with the managerial challenges of transformation defined and discussed.

Ergonomics is an important element of managing performance and productivity in a company. Nowadays, the ergonomic parameters are set in line with the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept. The paper highlights the link between virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), when combined with the traditional ergonomic procedure. Automation and digitization contribute to a significant extent to the creation of ergonomic workplaces and the elimination of the negative effects of non-ergonomic workplaces on people. The aim of the paper is to determine the essential elements of the system process approach to ergonomics management. This is achieved through an analysis of the current approaches from Industry 4.0 and a focus on the augmented reality approach. The backbone of the triple combination of "man-machine-environment" determines the ergonomic setting of work and the workplace. Subsequently, the presented case study examines the link between ergonomic workplace principles and data analytics for VR/AR technology. The scientific contribution of the paper lies in the discussion of the case study results, which is beneficial for the ergonomic design of workplaces.
