Digital Technology for Planning and Scheduling in Industry 4.0 Systems

Zaključna naloga obravnava planiranje, načrtovanje in izvedbo proizvodnega procesa v sistemih Industrije 4.0 ter težave, ki se pojavljajo pri navedenih operacijah. Opredeljene so vrzeli med planiranjem in izvedbo ter predstavljeni dejavniki, ki povzročajo te vrzeli. Obravnavana so tudi digitalna orodja in tehnologije, ki se uporabljajo v sodobnih sistemih Industrije 4.0. Te digitalne rešitve lahko pripomorejo k izboljšani natančnosti in hitrosti planiranja ter načrtovanja proizvodnega procesa. Opravljena raziskava v okviru zaključne naloge je pokazala, da se planiranje in načrtovanje v proizvodnih podjetjih še vedno izvaja pretežno ročno ali pol-avtomatizirano. Poleg tega smo v zaključni nalogi zaznali, da se podjetja zavedajo novih digitalnih orodij in tehnologij ter verjamejo, da jim lahko personalizirane digitalne rešitve pomagajo pri povečanju uspešnosti njihovih poslovnih in proizvodnih procesov.The thesis describes planning, scheduling and manufacturing execution in Industry 4.0 systems, along with problems that occur in these processes. It identifies the gap between planning and execution, and explains the factors that cause the gap. Furthermore, it introduces the digital tools and technologies, which are used in modern Industry 4.0 systems. These digital solutions can help to improve planning and scheduling accuracy and speed. The conducted survey shows that planning and scheduling is still performed mostly manually or semi-automated in manufacturing companies. Moreover, it reveals that manufacturers are aware of new digital tools and technologies, and that they believe that digital solutions can help them to improve their business and production processes success
