The use of innovative computer tools for the logistic improvement of the production process

Abstract

The article discusses tools for improving production processes. The aim of the article was to compare them with a modern Industry 4.0 tool used to improve the production process. In the era of dynamically developing information systems, for monitoring production, acquiring large amounts of information during their work, it enables the implementation of advanced strategies in the area of maintenance and servicing of machines. The concept of Industry 4.0 remains at the center of the discussion of engineers and has a major impact on manufacturers of innovative machines as well as their end users. The combination of production processes with information technologies, which in themselves develop at a very fast rate, makes the automation of production lines more flexible, merges logistic processes and optimizes the value chain. Industry 4.0 means the integration of intelligent machines, systems and the introduction of changes in production processes aimed at increasing production efficiency and introducing the possibility of flexible product changes.
