| Abstract: | For small companies, incorporating Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in the production facility can be more difficult compared to larger companies. The implementation of new technologies for small companies can be a challenge because of a lack of resources, the increasing technological advancements and the relatively high investment cost. Especially when a company is growing, it is hard to focus on automation projects. Global Electronics B.V. (GE) is a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) that assembles printed circuit board for the high-tech industry that is growing quickly and therefore it is desired to automate part of the production process to move into the direction of I4.0. To keep up with the growth, GE wants to know which shop floor processes can be improved and which techniques would be helpful. In this research we look at the desires of automating the shop floor of GE. |
