    <jats:p>Introducing automation in manufacturing can lead to increasing efficiency in the assembly process, reducing Lean production waste, and enhancing operator ergonomics. The purpose of combining automation and Lean is to bridge the gap between digital transformation and human-centric automation, ensuring technological evolution together with the operator's well-being while driving industrial optimization, innovation, and efficiency. According to the review, synergy is required; however, challenges remain in effectively aligning automation with Lean principles. This paper aims to analyze the possibilities for integrating automation and Lean management according to literature, exploring similarities and the implementation practices to achieve sustainable and competitive manufacturing.</jats:p>

    ;
    The fourth industrial revolution comes with a lot of promises for the future of effective and efficient manufacturing. However, in the light of the rapid change of the technology, smart manufacturing is undergoing transformation driven by two distinct paradigms: Industry 4.0 advocates for the shift to-wards digitization and automation, while the emerging Industry 5.0 prioritizes human-centric approaches. Currently, there is a need to consider sustainable development and the crucial role of humans in the assumptions of industry’s future development. Concerns about the implementation of digital technologies became the basis for building the assumptions of Industry 5.0. This article will present a comparative qualitative compassion between Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 in order to precisely characterize both concepts.

    Enhancing manufacturing efficiency - A Lean Industry 4.0 approach to retrofitting
    (Mechanical Engieneering-Scientific Journal, 2023-12)
    ;
    ;
    Industry 4.0 technologies are already affecting global supply chains by revolutionizing how companies manufacture and distribute their products and services. Many companies are affected by this transformation, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are keen to enhance their market competitiveness as quickly and easily as possible. The transformation from traditional approaches to Industry 4.0 can bring many benefits, however, this transition involves adopting technologically advanced machinery with a high level of digitalization and communication. The cost and time to replace old machines could be unsustainable for many SMEs and that is why these enterprises seek alternative solutions for the digitalization of their legacy machines, such as retrofitting. This paper conducts a review of both retrofitting and Lean Industry 4.0 (Lean 4.0) to identify the challenges and benefits of both concepts and explore how they can interact and merge with each other to help SMEs to increase their market competitiveness.

    Peneva, Gabriela
    This review provides insights into the role of product traceability in enhancing the digital transformation of manufacturing companies and provides an initial guidance for organizations and researchers that are looking into the possibilities to implement or improve traceability systems. The review highlights several classifications when it comes to product traceability in the manufacturing industry. Various traceability concepts and technologies, including Barcodes, QR codes, Data Matrix codes, RFID, NFC, BLE and GPS are presented, defined, and compared according to selected criteria.
