CONCEPT INDUSTRY 4.0 IN METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING

Industry 4.0 Concept is current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, Big Data, cloud computing and more. Industry 4.0 creates what has been called a "Smart Factory design". The term Industry 4.0 it selves means the fourth industrial revolution. It incorporates emerging technical advancement to improve industry so as to deal with some global challenges. The aim of this paper is to describe the incoming changes, which must be made in short time in metallurgical industry to be compatible with "other world" systems. The Industry 4.0 implements new approaches to human resource management, automation, data networks interconnections, data storage, data mining and much more. The changes has already started, but implementations and human stance to new ideas will take decades.
