Stabilization of Digitized Processes
Stabile production processes are oriented on flexible production process; they enable implementation of digitized concepts in real production technologies. The presented chapter describes research results oriented on actual state mapping in selected industrial companies, with core orientation of people engagement in core processes connected with production digitization. Quantitative and qualitative research by selected industrial companies was realized in combination with hypothesis testing and verification. Core research problem of the presented chapter is the compatibility between employee and cobot by workplace from the ethical point of view. Based on analyze of selected workplaces in industrial companies were identified crucial decisive parameters of effective cooperation between human and cobot with subsequent formulation of conclusions for setting the rules of ethical mutual cooperation “human-robot” by production workplace. Radical innovations in industrial companies connected with the integration of cobot technologies in the production processes are strongly connected with the aim, to give the stability in the mutual connection between employee and cobot. A model of standardized co-operation between human and cobot will be presented; it is based on the key elements of the standardization process. This is a new point of view on the ethics of the workplace, where the “human-machine” cooperation replaces the cooperation model “human-cobot.”
