20.500.12556/DKUM-86547 Simultaneous use of digital technologies and industrial robots in manufacturing firms This paper presents the use of digital technologies and industrial robots in manufacturing firms. More importantly, we look at the relationship between the use of digital technologies and industrial robots within the Industry 4.0 concept. We also use a specific Industry 4.0 Readiness index to assess manufacturing firms’ Industry 4.0 readiness level and analyze the relationship between the achieved readiness level and the use of industrial robots. The research is based on data from 118 manufacturing firms from a European Manufacturing Survey. Based on statistical analysis, we present the results that show a significant correlation between the use of specific digital technologies and two types of industrial robots. Our study also points out that manufacturing firms with a higher Industry 4.0 readiness level tend to use industrial robots more frequently. digital technology industrial robot industry 4.0 manufacturing firms European manufacturing survey readiness index digitalna tehnologija industrijski roboti industrija 4.0 proizvodna podjetja evropska anketa o proizvodni dejavnosti indeks pripravljenosti true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/ Članek v reviji 2023-12-11 09:34:33 2023-12-11 09:37:50 2024-03-27 12:51:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 17 str. iss. 10, [article no.] 5890 Vol. 13 May 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 2023-04-07 2023-05-06 2023-05-10 681.5:658.5 151924483 10.3390/app13105890 2076-3417 applsci-13-05890.pdf applsci-13-05890.pdf 1 6A6BFA69660EBBEDB952E0737DFD01E3 14d25e8d13a8facbd55f76de88d6b13bdbf6ec30b274bf661d64feee70222470 4846d531-9800-11ee-a2d0-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=174791 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/13/10/5890 0 5dfbd497-9800-11ee-a2d0-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=174793 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
