Abstract: An analysis of directional activities in Poland and Germany towards the implementation of Industry 4.0 was carried out by comparing the common sustainable development features. The value of production sold along with the benefits of its implementation are presented. The transformation map was characterized along with development areas and potential directions of automation and robotization. Technological possibilities were assessed, considering the production of robots. The execution of activities aimed at implementing solutions in the field of Industry 4.0 in Poland was indicated. The key information gleaned in this study is the awareness of the implemented features proving the fulfillment of conditions relating to Industry 4.0. Action towards the sustainable replacement of machines that require repair or regeneration is significantly related to thinking towards rationalizing the actions taken and assessing the financial capabilities of companies so as not to lead to their collapse. The article presents original research on the characteristics of selected production companies in Poland and Germany striving for digital maturity and the results of our hypotheses. The key direction should be activities aimed at developing a coherent strategy, the proper selection and evaluation of managers, focusing on communication, and the pursuit of intelligent products by creating appropriate integration standards that facilitate the implementation of an innovative process generating modern technologies.
