Tiivistelmä
Industry 4.0 is one of the novel paradigms and the most talking topics in the recent years, there are many resources about it in literature for almost all the industry sector. Industry 4.0 is defined as the fourth industrial revolution, because it provides a wide and new range of possibilities to the Industry. Recent advances and trends of some key technologies such as actuators, sensors, cloud computing and big data analytics make Industry 4.0 possible. Industry 4.0 is a broad subject and there are many concepts related to it for example, cyber physical systems, smart factory and Internet of Things, etc.
Industry 4.0 brings many benefits and challenges, together. In order to eliminate these challenges and increase the benefits of Industry 4.0 implementation, simulation modeling of a system is a one of key approaches using in literature for decision making and provides many other possibilities.
This study aims to state possibilities of using simulation approach for implementing Industry 4.0 in production systems by reviewing literature. Simulation have used in industry since the third industry revolution but it has to be effective and dynamic after the forth industrial revolution due to the huge amount of data collected from products, processes, machines and devices.
The current study started with the investigation of Industry 4.0 paradigm, its technologies and challenges. Then, simulation approach and its types are defined. Finally, Literature was also reviewed according to defined literature review methodology.
The results showed that the simulation approach is very useful to eliminate the challenges of the Industry 4.0 implementation. Furthermore, simulation and new technologies (e.g. Virtual Reality), together, can be used to meet visualization requirements of Industry 4.0. Simulation also provides validation of proposed algorithms for Industry 4.0 implementation.
