Realization of project procedures in the item designing companies of the Industry 3.0 and Industry 4.0

Abstract The actual task under consideration is to organize the project activity in an item designing company of the Industry 4.0. A comparative analysis is given to realize project procedures in the companies of the Industry 3.0 and Industry 4.0. It is clear that the primary means to create technical documentation for an item designing component in the Industry 3.0 company is the so called CAD systems which help the designer to create construction, program and technological documentation according to the given samples. The Industry 4.0 companies require the cloud technologies to function, Industrial Internet of Things, the technology of imitating modelling and others, which help to organize project procedures in the company virtual space. Virtual tests help to reduce the costs of development of an item and to reduce the amount of time spent for creating the item technical documentation by reducing the expenses. The main result of modelling in the Industry 4.0 company is the item 3D-model which exactly is the digital twin of an item designing component. There is a scheme how to organize project activity in the Industry 4.0 company to generate the project solutions space and choose the best one (optimal) of project alternatives. The optimal criterion includes technical specifications to describe external influencing factors which influence the item during exploitation and which is a part of the technical task to develop the item.
