On-going research

Conclusion

3. Essence of 4th Industrial Revolution My opinion
Change of way of human livelihood (živobytí, Broterwerb) with internet
Livelihood = entrepreneurship, employment, earning money
The majority of human livelihood based on industry –> therefore Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0, but it could be also Livelihood 4.0
Internet changes our life
The complete theory of such change does not exist
We have only examples of such changes

4. Example 1 What entrepreneurship is better?
Negotiate, organize a deal is better than execute it

5. Example 2
New product traditionally requires reconstruction of production line
Production line reconstructed just-in-time from the cloud on internet
Production line reconstruction took 2 years
Production starts immediately after successful simulation

6. Further examples
Service of products (robots, aircrafts, cars…) on internet
Setting of parameters of products on internet
Deduction of consumption of energy, water, … on internet
Finding parking place, transportation through internet
Concentration = manufacture non-material service on internet
Individualized product design and its manufacture for the price of mass production
Reduction of stock capacity = demand and supply on internet
Reduction of production costs = precise production from unprecise components

Possible essence
Objects of our worlds have
Their real life and
Their virtual life – on internet
Objects of our world mutually communicate – through their IP address
Virtual life may be unlimitedly rich
Memory
Copy, agents
Simulation what …, if …
Virtual life maybe materialized

8. On-going research
Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0 = Livelihood 4.0 -> new ways of doing bussiness – how???
Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0 = production flexibility -> Robotics
Service

9. Example 1: Cooperating robots for machining RoboMill project
Patent pending

10. Example 2: Crane manipulator (robot) for cooperation with human workers
Nonlinear control for large displacements

11. Example 3: Intranet of machines in production line
Capacity and stability of communication within intranet of machines on production line (e.g. EtherCAT)
Limits of communication in control network

12. Education
Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0 = Livelihood 4.0 -> education at all schools
General subject in each school
Specialized subjects/study programs in engineering, bussiness, law, social universities

13. General subject Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0
Creating a content for all schools is a challenge
1)IP address and navigation on web
2)E-bussiness
3)Production on internet
4)Social networks and their tricks
5)E-security
6)Social influences of Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0
7)Usage of clouds
8)Artificial intelligence
9)Smart energy grids
10)Smart transportation
11)Smart house
12) ???

14. Study program at FME CTU in Prague
Study program based on existing study program Mechatronics
Extended by essence of Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0 (tele)communication, distributed systems, big data
Specialized to production systems
Foreseen further versions specialized to smart energy systems, smart transportation systems etc.

17. Demand from education
Research is necessary for concentration of knowledge in order to create systematic lectures

18. Conclusions Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0 is deeper change than it seems
Therefore Czech republic must start immediately with preparation to Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0
The immediate start is necessary especially in education
Therefore Industry 4.0/Průmysl 4.0 is a larger opportunity for Czech republic than it seems
Let us open our phantasy and creativity

19. Thank you for your kind attention
