Readiness of the Ústí nad Labem Region for the Implementation of the Industry 4.0 Concept

Original language description

The aim of the paper is to analyse and discuss the foundational ideas of the current Industry 4:0 concept in the context of the realities of the Ústí nad Labem Region. Currently, the Ústí nad Labem Region is generally perceived as an area with a number of major socio-economic problems. As compared to other regions of the Czech Republic, the region’s economic performance is below average. Industry 4.0 represents a great opportunity for the future development and increase in the competitiveness of this industrially-oriented region. The question is to what extent the region is ready for the changes connected with automation, digitalisation, or robotisation, and what changes it should go through in the future in order for the possible ideas and some of the Industry 4.0 processes already under way to be successfully implemented. Due to the fact that Industry 4.0 is a very complex and comprehensive concept, this paper focuses on four key selected factors on which Industry 4.0 puts the most emphasis. These include research, development and innovation, human resources, education, and infrastructure. Therefore, the specific aim is to analyse these four factors in the territory of the Ústí nad Labem Region, and point out the necessary changes related to the commencement of Industry 4.0. It is apparent from the analysis carried out that the Ústí nad Labem Region suffers from a lack of capacity (in the field of science and research, human resources, or in the qualification structure and communication infrastructure) and an insufficient involvement of the stakeholders themselves (company owners and management, workers, but also the young generation).
