of Scientific Technical Union of Mechanical Engineering "Industry 4.0"

The article deals with current situation of design of production lines in modern factories and describes possibilities of realization new type of industry lines. The main research deals with proposal of modular production system established from intelligent manufacturing cells. Main positive features of suggested structure are possibility of rapid reconfigurability of the production line, easy maintenance and possibility of simple and fast design of new production lines, thanks to modularity. To achieve these features in the Industry 4.0 ecosystem is necessary to use of modern communication methods and technologies, such as wireless industrial communication and IoT together with cooperative robots. Moreover, the entire system has to be designed as hierarchical, demand synchronized, flexible and is using standardized construct components.

The future of industry contains many challenges. Necessity is to increase the degree of digitization and achieve a new level of productivity. The rise emergence of modern production lines operating in accordance with the concept of Industry 4.0 foresees the creation and implementation of new technologies and the emergence of autonomous production units capable of independent existence within the manufacturing process. They must closely communicate with other elements and cooperate with all the elements in the production process. In this article we describe architecture of theoretical cyber-physical system and give components and technologies necessary to implement a modern enterprise designed according to Industry 4.0 standards.

The present is an age of technical progress, the rapid development of new technologies and digital transformation in the industry. In the professional experience is often mentioned as the fourth industrial revolution and there is generally used the term "Industry 4.0". The article describes the current state of the problem in area of management and trends and perspectives of management of complex structures using Business Intelligence (BI). At the end of the article is given a summary of requirements that must be implemented for the possibility of establishing a compatible management system that link all elements of the marketing chain.
