This book consists of papers presented at AUTOMATION2019 an international conference held in
Warsaw from March 27 to 29 2019. It discusses the radical technological changes occurring due
to the INDUSTRY 4.0. To follow these changes both scientists and engineers have to face the
challenge of interdisciplinary approach directed at the development of cyber-physical systems.
This approach encompasses interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge numerical modelling and
simulation as well as application of artificial intelligence techniques. Both software and
physical devices are composed into systems that will increase production efficiency and
resource savings. The theoretical results practical solutions and guidelines presented are
valuable for both researchers working in the area of engineering sciences and practitioners
looking for solutions to industrial problems.
