The life cycle of technical documentation in the smart factory of Industry 4.0

Abstract

The task is to synthesize all stages of the item designing component technical documentation life cycle in the companies of the Industry 4.0. The companies of the Industry 4.0 is a new type of project and production companies which activity is done with paperless documentation. The traditional designing procedures of construction, program and technological documentation are studied which are available today in the companies of the Industry 3.0. There is a scheme of technological documentation life cycle in the Industry 3.0 companies. It is clear that for the Industry 4.0 companies they need new forms of item designing component technical documentation which could be digital replica, digital shadow and digital twin of the item which is done in different stages of item projection. Also it is clear that new forms of electronic documents require new instrument means for project activity. There is a scheme of item designing component technical documentation life cycle in the Industry 4.0 companies.
