The main goal of the presented project is to develop a methodology for intelligent solutions to increase the innovative capacity of companies in the process of their transformation into smart companies in the context of Industry 4.0. The proposed methodology will create a comprehensive product, the implementation of which would allow companies to start the process of digitization and create a way to achieve their transformation. The research workplace expands its intentions into the field of digital engineering, which it develops mainly in cooperation with solved projects and with its steps in the field of innovative solutions it aims to achieve its goal of becoming a highly competitive educational and research workplace in the field of industrial engineering. The solution of the presented project can be concretized into five phases:

• analysis of the current state and identification of the requirements of the business sphere • creation of conditions for the implementation of elements of digitization by increasing the quality level of laboratories at the workplace of the responsible researcher,

• elaboration of proposals and verification of modifications of optimization methods and algorithms, as a basis for the creation of the methodology defined in the main goal of the submitted project,

• verification of the proposed methodology in the laboratory conditions of the workplace of the responsible solver, which will enable the implementation of reconfiguration and modification of processes in accordance with the concept of Intelligent Industry,

• the process of introducing a proven methodology through selected business entities into industrial practice.

The main goal of the presented project is to design a comprehensive methodology for designing a new type of production system focused on mass customization with the support of elements of digital engineering in in line with the RIS3 smart specialization strategy. The aim of the presented project is to create a unique methodology that will use the tools of digital engineering in the field of design, innovation and optimization of production flows of existing types of industrial production. The main support tools for ensuring quality information collection will be the most modern software tools that we have at the solution workplace and will enable the verification of corrections from the obtained data. The methodology of the project solution will consist of the following stages:

• the stage of analysis of the current state will be developed on the basis of the experience of the team of researchers in the field of analysis, design and modification of processes in heterogeneous industrial enterprises,

• The design stage of application solutions for real and simulation systems will be focused on the design and description of the required functionalities of the solution with the definition of acceptability parameters for simulation models. The proposed solution will be developed on the basis of several years of experience of the workplace of the responsible solver in the given area,

• the stage of programming and testing of the proposed system and application functionalities of the methodology with the help of test scenarios and the testing itself will be carried out on the basis of the experience of the team of researchers,

• the final stage will be the integration stage, the result of which will be the incorporation of the investigated relationships defined on the basis of selected parameters into the proposed simulation models and their verification in both laboratory and industrial practice conditions.
