of Scientific Technical Union of Mechanical Engineering "Industry 4.0"

In the 8th decade of the 20th century, a state program was implemented to automate the entire production in the spirit of scientific and technical progress. More than 160 types of systems for the automation of technological processes have been developed, including individual high-performance machines, industrial robots and manipulators, managed with the most advanced microprocessor technology for its time, subsequently implemented in pilot complex automated workshops and production areas in various economic sites of the country. Prioritizing the production of means of automation of technological processes intensifies machine-building, intellectualizes labor and increases its productivity. Gradually, with our forces and means, experience and a base for further design and implementation of flexible automated production systems in all branches of industry are created. The achieved technical and organizational experience guarantees the membership of Bulgaria in the Permanent Commission on Mechanical Engineering at the SIV and its coordinating role in agreements for multilateral specialization and scientific and technical cooperation in the field of industrial manipulators and robots.

This article discusses the features of automation of discrete manufacturing processes. The peculiarities of application of industrial robots are analyzed. Emethod proposed for the study of roll-over systems, which allows the choice of the optimal solution under specific conditions

Technological developments are fast and at industry level we have fourth industrial revolution going on. More and more new
technologies are being applied to production to make it more efficient and more competitive. In order for new technologies to be better implemented and for the end user to be able to apply them to their industry, it is necessary for educational institutions to accompany the rapid development of technology and apply these new technologies in curricula.

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.
