VEGA 1/0438/20

Interaction of digital technologies to support software and hardware communication of an advanced production system platform.

(2020-2023)

Project leader: prof. Ing. Peter Trebuňa, Ph.D.

Annotation:

Following the RIS3 strategy in Slovak companies, the presented project is focused on research into the possibility of using digital technologies in their introduction into production. Advanced modeling and simulation software will be selected as key decision support tools, using the principles and knowledge of statistics, value analysis and systems theory. At the same time, hardware tools (PLC, Simatic) will be used for the purpose of final testing of the functionality of the designed signal system. During the solution of the project, the research matrix will create a methodology in accordance with the specific requirements of practice, which will be tested at the researcher's workplace in laboratory conditions with existing infrastructure and industrial practice and applicable in heterogeneous companies to use tools and principles I 4.0. It can be expected that the impact of the proposed methodology will have usability already in the final stage of the project solution.

The impact of the pandemic and the subsequent economic crisis on the development of digitalization of companies and society in Slovakia.

(2021-2024)

Project leader: prof. Ing. Jaroslava Kadarova, PhD.

Annotation:

The project is focused on the development of scientific and practical knowledge in the field of management and evaluation of digitalisation of companies and determining the effects of the pandemic and the subsequent economic crisis on the development of digitalisation of society and companies operating in Slovakia. The originality of the project lies in the creation of a methodology for monitoring and evaluating the progress in the introduction of digitization in companies and in its verification on a sample of Slovak industrial companies. The solution of the project will be based on methodological approaches and theories of interdisciplinary character with the support of software tools, mathematical-statistical evaluation and experimental simulations. The scientific output of the project will be a model for assessing the level of performance, quality and risks of business digitization in Slovakia, based on relevant key performance indicators and key risk indicators, integrated into a composite indicator of the degree of business digitization. An integrated business digitization indicator is expected to optimize processes.
