Abstract

Industry 4.0 as a new manufacturing paradigm brings in a new wave of networked manufacturers and smart factories, which will determine future competitiveness of manufacturing companies. The aim for researchers should thus be to generate and optimize innovative solutions for different types of producers including SMEs in order to support them in meeting the challenges of Industry 4.0. The paper presents the readiness self-assessment method and roadmap model as a tools to secure a consistent implementation of technologies and devices supporting smart logistics and smart production. Proposed method has been applied by selected SMEs and it was proved that the model is easy to use in real production environment.
