Computer Vision Algorithms, Remote Sensing Data Fusion Techniques, and Mapping and Navigation Tools in the Industry 4.0-Based Slovak Automotive Sector

Abstract

The objectives of this paper, and the novelty brought to the topic of the Industry 4.0 manufacturing systems, are related to the integration of computer vision algorithms, remote sensing data fusion techniques, and mapping and navigation tools in the Slovak automotive sector. We conducted a thorough examination of Industry 4.0-based value and supply chains, clarifying how cyber-physical production systems operate in relation to collision avoidance technologies, environment mapping algorithms, and mobility simulation tools in network connectivity systems through vehicle navigation data. The Citroen C3 and Peugeot 208 automobiles are two examples of high-tech products whose worldwide value and supply chain development trends were examined in this study by determining countries and their contributions to production. The fundamental components of the research—statistical analysis and visual analysis—were utilized in conjunction with a variety of syntheses, comparisons, and analytical methodologies. A case study was developed using PSA Group SVK data. The graphical analysis revealed that Slovakia offers the second-highest added value to the chosen items, but it also highlighted the country’s slow-growing research and development (R&D) infrastructure, which could lead to a subsequent loss of investment and business as usual. Slovakia can generate better export added value by optimizing Industry 4.0-based manufacturing systems in the automotive sector.
