The Industry 4.0, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, involves the integration of cyber-physical systems such as IoT, computing, data analytics, robotics, and AI. Digital production systems help companies collect and analyze production data, make better decisions, optimize production processes, reduce downtime, and minimize production errors. The paper aims to present the crucial role of digital production systems in Industry 4.0, examining their benefits and challenges, as well as current trends in this continuously evolving field. The technologies used in Industry 4.0 include IoT, data analytics, smart factories, virtual and augmented reality, and blockchain. While these technologies offer advantages such as increased efficiency, reduced costs, and better user experience, they also come with challenges such as high implementation and maintenance costs, data security concerns, and lack of common standards.
