Description

This article discusses and analyzes the impact of advanced digital technologies on production automation. Production automation started from the First Industrial Revolution, but its level and performance has changed radically with the implementation of enabling and innovative technologies that represent the so-called fourth industrial revolution. The purpose of this research is to explore and identify the level of impact of new technologies on production automation, with increasing focus on business opportunities and the challenges that manufacturing businesses face in implementing digital technologies. This goal has been achieved through the qualitative objective, respectively the research of the situation in the automated production industry and through the quantitative objective, respectively the research in the regional market of a developing country. The results show that there is a good level of automation in the surveyed companies, but that the adequate staff for the implementation and use of digital technologies is not yet at the desired level.

Keywords:

Automated production, Digital technologies, AI, VR/AR, Cloud, 3D printing, Machine learning.
