Comparative Analysis of a Traditional and an Industry 4.0-Based Manufacturing Cell through the Example of a Cylindrical Gear
Keywords:
Industry 4.0, manufacturing cell, gear, cylindrical gear, comparative analysis, industry 4.0 and traditional industryAbstract
The aim of the research is to compare a traditional production line with an Industry 4.0-oriented manufacturing cell. The workpiece under examination is a cylindrical gear produced in three different types (with varying diameters and numbers of teeth), all made of aluminum. The research investigates aspects of productivity, flexibility, quality, and cost efficiency, and also presents the impact of introducing Industry 4.0 elements (sensors, data analysis, automated process control) on manufacturing processes.
