THE ROLE OF SERVICE ROBOTS IN INDUSTRY 4.0- – SMART AUTOMATION OF TRANSPORT

Abstract

All production processes in the world are implementing Industry 4.0 by using the basic technologies such as robotics & automation, intelligent sensors, 3D printers, radio frequency identification – RFID, cloud computing, Internet of Things and Internet of Services. Implementation of Industry 4.0 in all production processes is not possible without the use of both industrial and service robots, their development and implementation. In addition, there are other technologies on which the fourth industrial revolution is based that will provide us with intelligent devices, intelligent production processes, intelligent logistics in production processes, i.e. intelligent factories. The Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in the global environment provide machine networking in production processes and logistics systems. This paper provides an example of the use of service robots and their role in solving smart transport in production processes.
