This book consists of papers presented at Automation 2017 an international conference held in
Warsaw from March 15 to 17 2017. It discusses research findings associated with the concepts
behind INDUSTRY 4.0 with a focus on offering a better understanding of and promoting
participation in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Each chapter presents a detailed analysis of
a specific technical problem in most cases followed by a numerical analysis simulation and
description of the results of implementing the solution in a real-world context. 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.
