Abstract
The concept of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) outlines the vision of a smart factory characterised by the complete networking of all production parts and processes, consisting of real-time control via cyber-physical systems, increased use of robots, intelligent and adaptable production systems, which should contribute to greater productivity through resource efficiency. The convergence of production and interaction, work and communication requires increasingly transdisciplinary competencies for creating a smart factory, which is economically successful and competitive. These competencies consist, among others, of divers expert knowledge, flexibility, and creativity for moving toward I4.0.
