INDUSTRY 4.0 is redefining production methods and the
metalworking industry is taking note.
New demands have affected and influenced A good illustration is the ISO13399 standard, which
almost every related technology: from planning and specifies computer representation and data exchange
communication networks to machinery and cutting for information about the cutting tools and their
