Prevention 4.0 as part of the enterprise’s safety culture is developing HSE management system to address new challenges in prevention. Industry 4.0 anticipates new linkages between technology, man, and management systems to apply the most efficient IT systems to ensure the flexibility of the production process so that its output is a product that takes into consideration customer requirements. These changes include the existence of new types of risk due to the change of the position of man from the classical production centers to the area of superstructure activities, programmer, setter, maintainer, security technician for the digitization of production processes. Risk identification is based on defining the hazards and threats of a complex manufacturing system in the context of Safety and Security – Sa&Se, their formulation so that characteristic parameters can be efficiently digitized within the manufacturing process.

Intelligent production is the future of industrial production. They are leading the way to a new industrial era and best define the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And getting real-time data on quality, resources and costs provides significant advantages over classical production systems. Intelligent production must be built on sustainable and service-oriented technological and business practices. They are characterized by flexibility, adaptability and self-learning, resilience to failures, and risk management. The high levels of automation, on the other hand, become a mandatory standard for them, which is possible thanks to the flexible network of production-based systems that automatically monitor the production processes. Flexible systems and models that are capable of responding in real time allow internal processes to be radically optimized. Production benefits are not limited to one-off production conditions, and the capabilities include optimization through a global network of adaptive and self-regulating manufacturing components belonging to more than one operator.

The present research is devoted to the coexistence and communication of a person with machines, equipment and robots that possess elements of artificial intelligence. The new conditions lead to revolutionary changes in the automation of various activities in and outside the industry. Changes are multifaceted and the disclosure of trends allows planning and protecting of legal long-term activities to achieve useful outcomes effectively.

Two simulators of ship automation systems are realized by means of FESTO didactic elements and software. They are applied into syllabus for marine students and naval cadets. The analysis and advantages will be discussed between real and simulated systems.

Controlling of objects with the feedback negative loop is widely used in industry, intelligent technologies, robotics and transport systems. A negative feedback loop by comparing of the prescribed value of the output value with measured value of it generates a control signal, which adjusts the output value of the object. Typically, the number of controlled output values is equal to the number of feedback channels acting on the object, but in some cases, the number of the channel can be more. This situation is especially frequent in transportation systems. In the problem of the design of regulators, they pay the most attention to ensuring the required static and dynamic control accuracy, but recently the attention to the conservation of the resource manager increased. This saves fuel or energy costs, which is especially important, for example, in space technology. The task of saving resources in the control of an object with an excess amount of control channels was not previously considered in the literature. In this paper, the problem is investigated by numerical optimization with simulation. In some cases, the cost of resource of the control by the different channels may vary. At the same time the cheaper resources can have the worst quality of the control, for example, it can has a discrete form or (and) less speed and so on. In this paper, we study such state of the problem and give its solution. It is shown that for a suitable choice of the cost function one can preserve rather high quality of the control, while ensuring saving of the controlling resources. Resource saving can reach in some cases 96%, which is illustrated by an example.

Discusses qualitative methods of evaluation the layout of pumping equipment implemented in the software. There are various methods of processing expert assessments, analysis has shown that the evaluation of pumping equipment design results for nuclear facilities the best in terms of accuracy, the complexity and time-consuming method is the weighted average expert assessments. On the basis of this method, the technique of choosing the optimal layout decision of several options in the design of new equipment. Implementation of the developed algorithm in a dedicated software allows to automate and optimize the process of selecting the layout in the technical design stage of pumping equipment.

The mechanical tenderization , during meat processing, can be the advantageous solution for rapid maturation of the product. This method represents the possibility to modulate the working process on optimal variants of applying the impact force, the pressing time and the relaxation time of the product.

In this paper there is presented an experimental model of machine of our own conception for the optimization of the tenderization process of the meat.

The paper, presents the adequate system of pneumatic action and the automation elements of the working parameters which were made as our own conception for construction of a machine for meat tenderization. Within the elaborated pneumatic scheme of driving there are identified the elements that can be electrically driven and the basis established scheme includes the programmable controller of the process.
