This thesis deals with the importance of chemical industry in the creation of jobs in the Czech Republic between 2008-2015. The Thesis is divided into four chapters. First chapter is devoted to general development of chemical industry, with emphasis on the labour market. Second chapter is concerned with educational institutions within chemical industry. Third chapter examines selected chemical companies and their cooperation with educational institutions. The last chapter focuses on the future of the chemical industry of the Czech Republic with an emphasis on development of the labor market due to ongoing technological changes. The analyse of comprehensive development of the chemical industry is made on the basis of historical-statistical method. In the sections describing the possible development are used mostly specialized studies.

With the fourth industrial revolution, new technologies and business opportunities arise, enabling previously unknown performance improvement possibilities within the manufacturing industry and its supply chains. The main actor within Industry 4.0; Internet of things (IoT) promises benefits across the entire logistics value chain by increasing supply chain connectivity and visibility. However, IoT is still in its initial stages in the manufacturing industry and respective supply chain environment, leaving uncertainty about possible application areas and impacts. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the role IoT-technologies have in enabling supply chain visibility and connectivity, and the impact on supply chain performance. To answer the proposed research questions, the study followed an abductive, cross-sectional research design. Empirical, qualitative data was collected through a combination of document studies and interviews with an automotive Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and several third-party visibility vendors. The analysis of the collected data resulted in an outline describing ten information fields representing the information demands within a connected end-to-end supply chain, how IoT-technologies can be used to satisfy these demands and the general impact of increased visibility on the supply chain performance. To further ease the implementation decisions of IoT solutions for manufacturing OEM’s, additional research regarding the implementation process of an IoT system is needed.

The diploma thesis deals with the concept of automation of business administrative processes in the context of robotic process automation (RPA) and industry 4.0 with a focus on business information systems. The theoretical part focuses on defining the basic concepts related to the topic of this thesis, such as the information society, digitization and automation. An essential part is the analysis of current trends and possibilities of business process automation. To analyze these trends, a systematic literature review was conducted, the aim of which was to examine the current state of knowledge on the topic of industry 4.0 with a focus on current trends, future developments and other possible directions of this concept, especially in digitization and business administrative process automation. The aim of this diploma thesis is to design a solution for automation of selected administrative processes using RPA software Integromat in conjunction with the internal corporate business information system in the company ANTEE s.r.o. The design of the automation solution is based on the analysis of the current state of processes (AS-IS) and further outlines possible ways to use Integromat for their automation (TO-BE state), while also taking into account the necessary prerequisites for proper operation of...

This work deals with problematics if industrial robotic arms, with theirs constructions, controling and with theirs role in Industry 4.0. Work describes the process of development and realization of the industrial robotic arm model by 3D printing. Besides construction fo model, work deals with firmware, software and inversion kinematics crucial to controling. Model of robotic arm will be used as learning tool.

The author of the diploma thesis deals with the risks associated with the implementation of smart technologies in the production process. The purpose is to analyze, describe and evaluate the current situation in Industry 4.0 in the Czech Republic and abroad. Subsequently, corrective measures will be proposed to improve the current status. The output of the thesis is a proposal for risk management in the implementation related to the automation and digitization of the production process.

The subject of this dissertation is the application of selected elements od industry 4.0 to the construction industry. Individually selected elements are subsequently presented in more detail and for each element is created a SWOT analysis. The conclussion of this dissertation is conducting surveys in construction companies on the use of new technologies and evaluation of these surveys.

This thesis deals with design, construction and software of intelligent warehouse for testbed Industry 4.0. The first part is dedicated to the issue of warehousing, storage, Industry 4.0 and the description of the testbed Barman. The second part deals with the development of the cell storage. Firstly, there is a description of the design and construction of the cell, followed by a description of the sensors and control equipment used. The following part deals with the software of the cell and finally the goals of the thesis are evaluated.

This diploma thesis deals with construction and software of transport entities for testbed Industry 4.0. The aim of the thesis is to create a transport network for moving a glass with a drink between individual cells on a production table. A four-axis Epson SCARA manipulator is used to transport the glass and a conveyor with carriages is designed to serving the finished drinks. The first part deals with the description of used components and their electrical connections. The second part describes the program solution of robotic manipulator and programmable logic controller. The final part is devoted to the description of problems arising during implementation.

The aim of this thesis is to create a custom application to simulate production lines. The first part explains the main reasons, benefits and current trends in the field of virtual commissioning and describes several simulation tools and engineering tools from Siemens. The second part is devoted to a detailed description of features, capabilities and application interface of the PLCSIM Advanced simulation tool. The third part is devoted to design and realization of the custom simulation application, which can be used for create conveyor lines and validate user PLC program in cooperation with PLCSIM Advanced tool. This simulator was created using Unity3D game engine and C# programming language. In the last part of the thesis, a simple simulation task is created in the simulator and is tested using PLC program and visualization created in the TIA Portal engineering framework.

This work deals with the implementation of data continuity within the project documentation. This data continuity is implemented in order to follow the Industry 4.0 philosophy, already in the early design phase of the project. The project also gives an example of the implementation of the Internet of Things and the possibility of using it in industrial zones.
