Industrial production is one of the main engines of the economy. The effectiveness of this is important to maintain competitiveness. The risk of a highly skilled workforce shortage can be reduced if some of the tasks are performed by computer-running algorithms. It is necessary to ensure that engineering decisions in the manufacturing process are transposed into a digital environment. Furthermore, the current production systems should develop to be able to transmit the necessary information over the network to the central computer. In fact, this creates the possibility for the algorithm to provide optimal conditions for the production process, regardless of external distractions. Optimization can be dynamically adapted to the company's current economic needs, such as maximum capacity, minimum cost, or avoidance of employee overload. Further, research aims to give solutions to help industry participants to develop similar integrated systems from their existing systems.
