Analysis of the Industry 4.0 key elements and technologies implementation in the Festo Didactic educational systems MPS 203 I4.0

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is one of the key words and strategies in current industrial production. It is important to define the Industry 4.0 strategy, analyse its objectives, and characterize the key elements and technologies of Industry 4.0. The Industry 4.0 concept uses the Industry 4.0 reference architecture, which assists and guides automated system developers in their design and construction, and of course in the development of a new assembly product. Given that the existing assembly system for education-Festo Didactic MPS 203 I4.0 is used to explore the possibilities of using digitization in design, it will be necessary to analyse this system in terms of reference architecture and key elements of Industry 4.0 implemented. The result is in conclusion of how deeply the key elements of Industry 4.0 are implemented in this educational system. The aim of this result was to create a digital twin of the system and test it in a virtual environment after the verification and validation of the digital twin model.
