Abstract

The digital revolution results in changes in the production and value-added processes, which is a challenge especially for SMEs who cannot keep up with the rapid pace of technology development. This is mainly due to the lack of know-how and lack of strategies to lead one’s own company into the fourth industrial revolution as well as high investment costs in industry 4.0 solutions with unclear benefits. The increased amount of data in production systems together with the increasing networking of all systems offer new possibilities for quality assurance and quality management, though. The main objective of Industry 4.0 out of the box is to enable manufacturing SMEs to carry out the individual tracking of value creation with minimal planning and implementation costs. Industry 4.0 out of the box contains all necessary hardware and software for flexible tracking of production and testing parameters at part level and the collection of order-specific parameters without disrupting normal production.
