Industry 4.0 strategy advancing in car industry

Robotisation and automation is mainly developing in the car and electrical engineering industries and in services, however, overall the country is only beginning to implement the Industry 4.0 strategy, companies told CTK in a poll.


The fourth industrial revolution is accompanied by problems such as the lack of qualified workers. Companies are also demanding an education system reform, the poll has shown.

"Many Czech companies are already using some of the elements of the Industry 4.0 strategy,"

said Bohuslav Cizek of the Confederation of Industry.

Apart from cars and electrical engineering, the strategy is also being implemented by companies operating in the pharmaceutical and chemical technology industries, Cizek said.


The work of accountants, too, is being replaced by accounting software, and in the future there will be software applications, for instance, in the area of law, which will make legal assistance in signing contracts unnecessary, said Miroslav Diro of the Chamber of Commerce.

Automation helps companies improve quality and enables smoother production processes. Implementing the Industry 4.0 strategy provides a chance to maintain and raise competitiveness. This process is obviously faster in Germany, which is an industrial leader, "however, our industrial tradition and the present and closeness to the most advanced markets forces us not to wait for anything and keep up the pace with those who are the best," said Miroslav Konvalina of the Automotive Industry Association.
