The article shows that the nature of manufacturing technologies has changed significantly over the past three decades due to the introduction of advanced manufacturing technologies. As the complexity, scale and organizational role of advanced manufacturing technologies increases, maintaining these technologies be-comes critical to an enterprise's ability to compete. To be efficient in the manufacturing industry, quality and maintenance must be viewed as strategic issues in factories, and in order to make its proper contribution to profit, productivity and quality improvement, it must be recognized as an integral part of an enterprise’s man-ufacturing strategy. Therefore, one of the existing quality initiatives to achieve competitiveness is the contin-uous improvement of production technologies.

This chapter deals with the use of advanced manufacturing technologies in Slovenian manufacturing companies in the light of Industry 4.0. The main objective of the chapter is to determine the adoption of technologies in manufacturing companies, and to analyse how selected technologies affect different company characteristics. The authors have analysed the differences in the use of technologies, depending on the company size, technological intensity, product complexity, ability to introduce new products, etc. Results are based on a sample of 118 Slovenian manufacturing companies, whose data were obtained through the 2018/19 European Manufacturing Survey edition. The results are presented with the use of descriptive statistics, and they show that the use of specific technologies in Slovenian manufacturing companies is quite diverse. They found out that the number of technologies used and the potential of their use have a positive impact on the product characteristic in terms of increasing the ability to manufacture complex products and to introduce new products to the market.

The study aims to present the industry's 4.0 concepts and facilities available on the market, applied in a German instrumentation and control industry in Brazil. The study aims to present advanced manufacturing technologies that are already being applied in the company studied. As a research method, a bibliographic review is done first, followed by a qualitative, quantitative and descriptive analysis of the results of a case study. The results are intended to present the company's maturity level in relation to Industry 4.0 (I.4.0) as well as to diagnose possible new applications to increase the control and monitoring of its activities. At the end of the paper, suggestions for future studies will be available to complement the methodology proposed in this study.

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is built upon the capabilities of Internet of Things technologies that facilitate the recollection and processing of data. Originally conceived to improve the performance of manufacturing facilities, the field of application for I4.0 has expanded to reach most industrial sectors. To make the best use of the capabilities of I4.0, machine architectures and design paradigms have had to evolve. This is particularly important as the development of certain advanced manufacturing technologies has been passed from large companies to their subsidiaries and suppliers from around the world. This work discusses how design methodologies, such as those based on functional analysis, can incorporate new functions to enhance the architecture of machines. In particular, the article discusses how connectivity facilitates the development of smart manufacturing capabilities through the incorporation of I4.0 principles and resources that in turn improve the computing capacity available to machine controls and edge devices. These concepts are applied to the development of an in-line metrology station for automotive components. The impact on the design of the machine, particularly on the conception of the control, is analyzed. The resulting machine architecture allows for measurement of critical features of all parts as they are processed at the manufacturing floor, a critical operation in smart factories. Finally, this article discusses how the I4.0 infrastructure can be used to collect and process data to obtain useful information about the process.
