The Enterprise Architecture and Technologies of the "Industry 4.0" as Tools for Creating Business Models

Currently, the information technology sector is undergoing significant changes that affect every ordinary person. Particularly significant changes are observed among business players. In the modern trends of the information space, one can notice a phenomenon called Industry 4.0. Technologies have advanced so far in recent decades that tasks that seemed impossible just a few years ago are becoming a reality in the near future. Starting from simple and compact devices with multiple functions for ordinary users and ending with complex analytical systems with artificial intelligence acting as an assistant. Substantial changes are also taking place in the business environment. Today, the requirements for businesses have grown both from the customer's expectations of the product and from the external environment. The competitive environment is becoming more challenging as most companies have access to various types of technologies that greatly simplify processes, their analysis, and their impact. Therefore, simply automating workplaces and rethinking approaches to problem-solving are no longer enough for most enterprises. Now, companies need to prepare for serious changes. Large corporations and market leaders are increasingly using technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud technologies, and others. All of this is becoming commonplace. These processes and trends define a new industrial revolution known as Industry 4.0. The main goal of this work is to theoretically analyze the components and trends of Industry 4.0 in order to conduct a business analysis using a real company as an example, to identify process optimization solutions, and to align the company with the trends of Industry 4.0.
