Adaptation to New Technological Challenges and Opportunities in the Education Related to Industry 4.0

The increased development of new technologies brought many significant changes and problems. These changes are enormous in many spheres, especially in production and industry, so a new technological era has begun, labelled as the Era of Industry 4.0. Modern business systems purport business continuity with a high degree of agility, effectiveness, accuracy, and safety. Changes are present in many different spheres and demand fast reactions and appropriate responses. Related to that fact, changes in manufacturing and industry are frequent and intense. Traditional methods and practices in manufacturing, industry, and business need to be updated to meet modern challenges. These challenges include optimizing production, boosting profits and efficiency, lowering costs, managing product life cycles, protecting the environment, and improving waste management. The crucial thing is to design new engineers, technicians, and other workers that can handle these challenges. For this significant task, new education models must be established and implemented. This paper presents the current and potential problems, models, and education solutions for the recently developed technological era of Industry 4.0.
