Chip machining has strong historical foundation. First innovations in machining were created long ago and next Innovations appeared sporadically. The Industrial revolution and then the second half of 20th Century meant start of self–driven, programmable machines used in machining. This led interest of engineers to machining process itself. The aim of this Diploma thesis is to characterize most interesting modern trends from last few years and unite them in electronical database which will be included in this thesis. Main attention is aimed for innovations in chip machining in general and also in specific branches – turning, milling and drilling. Thesis also includes discussion about economical aspect of application of modern trends in chip machining.

The diploma thesis focuses on risk assessment related to the implementation of smart technologies to non-manufacturing companies. Part of the diploma thesis is analyze of the current state of implementation Industry 4.0 in the Czech Republic and abroad. Based on the obtained information are the risks related with implementation Industry 4.0. in Czech republic and into non-manufacturing companies identified and evaluated. In this case there are assessed implementation of smart technologies in model company. Output from this thesis is proposal of appropriate strategies to reduce the risk and assessing the effectiveness and safety of implementing smart technologies into business processes.

This thesis discusses adaptive control of cooperative robotic manipulator. It deals with gathering and processing of data from six degrees of freedom tensometer and their use in adaptive control.

The diploma thesis is concerned with the research of integration of augmented reality into the testbed Industry 4.0. Testbed is presenting automated robotic barman intended for practical demonstration and verification of concepts such as Industry 4.0 or a digital factory. The integration of augmented reality is realized via an Android application and creates the AR information system of the testbed. The theoretical part of the thesis is about Industry 4.0, the construction of the testbed and technologies of augmented reality used during implementation of the application. The practical part deals with the implementation and testing of the application. The conclusion includes an evaluation of the goals of the thesis.

This master thesis is about implementation of cloud systems for the purpose of monitoring and advancing production accuracy of CNC machine tools within context of Industry 4.0. A demonstration application was created. It is hosted in MindSphere cloud from the Siemens company.

The diploma thesis focuses on the description of LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) technologies for use in IoT (Internet of Things) communication scenarios. The theoretical part compares communication technologies operating in the license-exempt frequency band, i.e. Sigfox and LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network). Furthermore, technologies using the licensed frequency spectrum are discussed, specifically, attention is focused on NB-IoT (Narrow Band IoT). Emphasis is placed on LoRaWAN technology and the properties of the unlicensed frequency band below the 1 GHz, which is utilized by this technology. The practical part of the thesis consists of the evaluation of simulation scenarios using an integrated module in the simulation environment NS-3 (Network Simulator 3). Attention is focused mainly on the analysis of data transmission success using selected communication parameters of LoRaWAN technology. The obtained simulation outputs with a focus on mMTC (massive Machine-Type Communication) communication scenarios confirm the relationship between the number of end devices and gateways, communication distance and transmission reliability, or the limit value for the duty cycle.

The goal of this diploma thesis is to explore possibilities and principals of virtual and augmented reality, especially in relation to use in the factories of Industry 4.0. Introduce also a optical location systems VICON and OptiTrack. . It also studies the possibilities of 3D visualization of technical objects using viewing glasses and selects a suitable framework for creating an augmented reality focused on the environment of MS Windows, UNITY 3D engine and the C# programming language. Last chapter designes and developes software solution depicting an artificial scene in viewing glasses.

This thesis explains structure of skeletal muscles, generation of action potencial and principle of muscle contraction. Further it shows types of electromyographic signal recording and its usage in therapy. Technical aspects of EMG signal and components required for electromyograph assemblage are next topic of this thesis. Another part presents design of simple EMG module for therapeutical application with bluetooth 4.0 interface.

Background: While technologies are progressing exponentially and inevitably becoming an essential as a means for business to adapt and survive, no exception is the finance division. Digitalization activities have become do or die tasks for many companies and have been a challenging process for finance departments. Yet, in the context of Finance 4.0 it is barely researched. Due to evolving understanding of how finance departments should look, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as the leader of the whole finance division is going through a lot of changes surrounded by uncertainty. The expectations for CFO and finance department are increasing and it becomes unclear what financial specialists should actually deliver for business. Hence, this paper aims to identify how CFO’s role is changing because of Finance 4.0, otherwise known as finance function digitalization, and what skills will be needed to successfully work as CFO in the new environment that seeks to become fully digital and automated. Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis research is to identify and analyze how the CFO’s role is changing because of Finance 4.0 and what skills will be required in future for the CFO position.  Method: A qualitative study with interpretivism philosophy, inductive approach and narrative inquiry strategy is taken as the best options for this particular study. Semi-structured interviews with Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) is a method for primary data collection as well as thematic data analysis for gathered data analysis are chosen in order to answer research questions. Conclusion: This research investigates how Finance 4.0 is changing the role of CFO as well as explores what future skills are required for the profession. The research clearly reveals that digitalization is affecting CFO’s role significantly and brings more uncertainty. Research results show that fundamental responsibilities of a CFO will not undergo changes any time soon as well as the skills required for work will remain largely the same. This is because the professional skills of a CFO directly reflect the responsibilities and working tasks, and, moreover, the finance departments are not completely undigitized. However, even though the foundation of the CFO role remains the same, digital disruption causes expansion and increased complexity. While existing academic knowledge is focused mostly on the change process itself and the benefits of digitalization, CFOs revealed what is challenging for them during this digital journey and what negative effect they have experienced.
