Analysis of the Impact of Human-Cobot Collaborative Manufacturing

The industrial revolution represents a huge development of science and technology. The fourth industrial revolution is known as Industry 4.0. This revolution is realized by a combination of numerous physical and digital technologies such as adaptive robotics, additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, cloud computing and the Internet of Things. The main purpose of industrial transformation is to increase the competitiveness of companies through resource efficiency and productivity increase [1]. For maintaining and increasing the competitive power of the company, quality and safety are essential in every industry, and have become a matter of survival and must be considered in all management decisions [2]. The quality of production and quality management have a great impact on the performance of industrial enterprises as well as in the agricultural sector [3,4]. In addition to the quality of its products and services, the success of any organization also depends on the performance of the processes taking place within organizations [5]. Industry 4.0 as a technological revolution is characterized by triggering technologies, great automation and computerization [6]. It is therefore important for practical field research to map the readiness of industrial enterprises for the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 [7].
