SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION IN DIGITAL AGE
Abstract
The main benefits of Industry 4.0 for more efficient use of resources are the reduction of energy and raw material consumption of production, increased productivity in production, optimization of logistics routes and technological solutions for decentralized production systems. The basic and necessary condition for the implementation of intelligent production systems and services is digitalization. If we focus on sustainable development, then we are talking about sustainable production. Sustainable production describes processes that do not endanger future generations. It means that sustainable production is a concept that is supposed to improve technical aspects, soft skills and methods used in the company. Part of sustainable production solution is sustainable manufacturing. There is the creation of manufactured products that use processes that minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities, and consumers and are economically sound. The article deals with methods and tools that will enable achieve sustainable production. The solution uses a combination of sustainable development methods and lean manufacturing methods with advanced digital ICT technologies. These are predictive tools, so-called digital twin technology, which are now part of a virtual factory. This makes it possible to evaluate a relatively large number of possible scenarios in a hort time and to choose the best solution both in terms of sustainable development and in terms of costs
