“…The smart machine's paradigm consists in self-organizing machines within a production network, plug-and-play integration, or even replacing new production units, that is, a traditional production hierarchy with a self-organized decentralized CPS [30]. The augmented operator's paradigm transforms the habitual worker into an operator who can intervene manually in an autonomously organized production system based on automated, flexible and adaptive knowledge of the production system [31]. In this way, the operator benefits from mobile support, context-sensitive user interfaces, and user-oriented support systems [32], becoming a strategic decision maker and the ideal solution to solve problems with high technical complexity.…”

Considering the worldwide evolutionary stage of Industry 4.0, this study wants to fill in a lack of information and decision-making, trying to answer a question about the level of preparation of Romanian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) regarding the implementation of the new technology. The main purpose of this article is to identify the opinions and perceptions of SME managers in Romania on the drivers and barriers of implementing Industry 4.0 technology for business development. The research method used in the study was analyzed by sampling using the questionnaire as a data collection tool. It includes closed questions, measured with a nominal and orderly scale. 176 managers provided complete and useful answers to this research. The collected data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) package using frequency tables, contingency tables, and main component analysis. Major contributions from research have highlighted the fact that Romania is in a full transition process from industry 2.0 to industry 4.0. There was also a high level of knowledge of the new Industry 4.0 technology, and a desire to implement it in the Romanian SMEs, as well as the low level of resources needed to implement it.

Today's globalization is creating and is bringing new opportunities for sustainable development. New emergent markets are rising, thus more environment friendly new innovative solutions for meet current demand are released. The global economy is facing today with many challenges and for manufacturing systems in order to be competitive on the global market it is mandatory to innovate permanently. Industry 4.0 (I4.0) with its main component smart factory i.e. factory of the future may be seen like an innovation in manufacturing field. Factory of the future (FoF) will be driven by intelligent manufacturing systems, characterized by smart machines, smart equipment, smart operators and smart products with the purpose to achieve mass customization, industrial growth and added value. The newest information and communication technologies play a key role in development of the smart factory and together with the physical devices lead to creation of so called Cyber-Physical System (CPS) which is the core of FoF. This paper contains a systematic study of the researches undertaken in the field of I4.0 and reveal the trends and the challenges of manufacturing management both those presented by literature and those resulting from direct researches of the authors, in four categories.

The paper introduces a security framework for the application of human-robot collaboration in a futuristic industrial cyber-physical system (CPS) context of industry 4.0. The basic elements and functional requirements of a secure collaborative robotic cyber-physical system are explained and then the cyber-attack modes are discussed in the context of collaborative CPS whereas a defense mechanism strategy is proposed for such a complex system. The cyber-attacks are categorized according to the extent on controllability and the possible effects on the performance and efficiency of such CPS. The paper also describes the severity and categorization of such cyber-attacks and the causal effect on the human worker safety during human-robot collaboration. Attacks in three dimensions of availability, authentication and confidentiality are proposed as the basis of a consolidated mitigation plan. We propose a security framework based on a two-pronged strategy where the impact of this methodology is demonstrated on a teleoperation benchmark (NeCS-Car). The mitigation strategy includes enhanced data security at important interconnected adaptor nodes and development of an intelligent module that employs a concept similar to system health monitoring and reconfiguration.
