The papers included in this content have been presented at the international conference New Technologies, Development and Application, held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on 28–30 June 2018. Majority of organized conferences are usually focusing on a narrow part of the issues within a certain discipline while conferences such these are rare. There is a need to hold such conferences. The value of this conference is that various researchers, programmers, engineers and practitioners come to the same place where ideas and latest technology achievements are exchanged. Such events lead to the creation of new ideas, solutions and applications in the manufacturing processes of various technologies. New coexistence is emerging, horizons are expanding, and unexpected changes and analogies arise. Best solutions and applications in technologies are critically evaluated.

Abstract. The development of robotic technology, owing to the advancement of digital technology, is evolving each year, resulting in increased representation of industrial robots. We are currently in the fourth industrial revolution, referred to as “Industry 4.0” by the Germans. The implementation of the fourth techno‐ logical revolution depends on a series of new and innovative technological achievements, most of which are applied in robotic technology. Automation of production processes, including automation of the welding process, must include industrial robots. This paper demonstrates the representation of industrial robots in the world continents, and four top countries: China, Japan, North America and Germany. An analysis was conducted of the annual representation of industrial robots in the welding process worldwide and on continents of Asia/Australia, Europe, and Americas, for the period 2010–2016. As it is known that industrial robots are most represented in the automotive industry, a tendency of their repre‐ sentation was depicted in the automotive industry for the same period, as well as the percentage in all industrial branches by 2016. Industrial robots are most widely used in two welding processes: arc welding and spot welding, so an analysis of their representation in these two welding processes for the period 2010–2016 was conducted. A comparative analysis of the annual production of vehicles in four countries was made: China, Japan, USA and Germany, as well as the presence of robots in these countries in the welding processes. The paper also includes the analysis and possibilities of future industrial robot representation in this area. Keywords: Industry · Process · Robot · Welding · Arc welding · Spot welding Application

Introduction
The production process in any industry branch is unconceivable without the use of industrial robots. The automation process in the industry started in the 1960s when industrial robots were introduced, and it continues to this day. The process of automation of production process with application of the first-generation industrial robots at that time period was positive because they replaced people in performing difficult and dangerous jobs. This was a rigid and non-flexible automation, because in order to initiate the production of another product in the same manufacturing process, it was necessary

to reprogram each robot with its grips, changing tools, etc., which in return caused long-lasting delays in the production and presented additional production costs. We must also state the fact that industrial robots were enclosed with fences for reasons not to hurt the workers engaged in the production process. With the continuous automation of produc‐ tion processes and their flexibility, as well as demands for constant change in production lines, the function of industrial robot becomes increasingly demanding and complex with the tendency of increasing the use of industrial robots. Every day we have techno‐ logical improvements in terms of flexibility, accuracy, security and simplification of the use of industrial robots. Medium and small businesses will start using flexible automa‐ tion in order to be competitive in the market. The presence of industrial robots is still the largest in the automotive industry in the welding process, but other industries do not lag behind in increasing the use of industrial robots. Industrial robots are ideal for jobs that are considered to be difficult and disadvantageous for people, and jobs that are hazardous to their health, particularly welding. They are used for repetitive jobs that are considered monotonous, as well as for products which require high quality and high productivity, such as automotive industry. Various industrial robots have been designed precisely for a specific type of task. The application of robotic systems in the industry also presents the humanization of work, and the best example is the welding processes in any industry [1–14, 22–24, 29–35]. Industrial robots are used for arc welding, spot welding, laser welding, soldering and other types of welding. The paper presents the analysis of the use of industrial robots in the world, by continents, as well as in the four countries where the automotive industry is the most represented, i.e. in the countries where the most vehicles are produced. In addition, the tendency of representation of industrial robots is presented in two welding processes: arc welding and spot welding, since these two welding processes mostly use industrial robots. When it comes to the transformation of production processes, we are referring to their modernization, with the aim of achieving intelligent production processes. This process is unimaginable without the presence of both industrial and service robots of the new generation. The new generation of robots must be intelligent and autonomous, i.e. to make independent decisions and communicate with people and machines. The application of such industrial and service robots will increase the reliability of the manufacturing process, reduce the time to create the finished product, and enable adapting and precision in performing tasks that exceed human capabilities.

The Representation of Industrial Robots
In order to depict the representation of industrial robots in production processes world‐ wide, the data for statistical analysis were taken from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the Organi‐ zation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [15–25, 29], as are shown in Fig. 1.
world that reflected the annual presence of industrial robots, so that the lowest repre‐ sentation of only 60.011 industrial robot units was marked in 2009. We can point out that the increase in the number of industrial robots in the world is growing from year to year, so that in 2016 the tendency of use has raised to 259.000 industrial robot units. The reasons for this tendency of representation of industrial robots are many, including the fact that companies want to be competitive in the market and introduce automation into their production processes, which reflects the presence of industrial robots. Other reasons include the development of robotic technology and the fourth digital revolution that simplifies the use of robots in production processes, decreasing price of industrial robots, etc. In order to depict the actual representation of industrial robots in the world, we have to conduct an analysis of their representation on annual and total level by continents, as shown in Fig. 2 [15–29].

The tendency of representation of industrial robots at the annual level, Fig. 2.a, indi‐ cates that Asia/Australia holds the first place by the presence of industrial robots in the production processes of the industry. We see the continuous increase in the application of robots in production processes from year to year in the period 2010–2016, so that the representation reached about 191.000 industrial robot units in 2016. The second place is held by Europe, that demonstrates a growing tendency, but unlike Asia/Australia, it is a slight increase from year to year. In 2016 it reached the value of about 56.000

industrial robot units, which compared to Asia/Australia is almost four times less. The third place is held by America with a slight increasing tendency, with about 41.000 industrial robot units used in 2016, which is around five times less than Asia/Australia in the same year. In regard to the representation of industrial robots at the overall level, Fig. 2.b, we can see that the tendency in all three continents has a growing character. It is more distinct in Asia/Australia, which holds the first place, and in 2016 the represen‐ tation reached about 1 million industrial robot units. Europe has a slower tendency of representation, which in 2016 reached about 460.000 units, whereas America marked around 300.000 industrial robot units in the same year. There is a far less difference in the representation of industrial robots in Europe and America compared to Asia/ Australia at the overall level than at the annual level. We have to note that the analysis did not include the continent of Africa, because the representation is very small and cannot be compared with other three continents. We have conducted the analysis of the representation of industrial robots in the four developed countries in the world where industrial robots are most widely used. The tendency of presence of industrial robots in these countries is shown in Fig. 3 [15–21].

units in 2016. The third place is held by USA, with the similar increasing trend of use of industrial robots in the recent years, which in 2016 amounted to about 31.400 robot units. The fourth place is reserved for Germany, where tendency is constant over the last few years, and in 2016 it reached about 20.000 industrial robot units. Industrial robots are installed on those jobs where they can protect the health of workers, assist them with heavy and monotonous jobs, and gain greater accuracy. The first group of tasks includes all welding processes, because they are harmful for health, and are largely used in the automotive industry where automation of welding processes is advanced [22–28]. For these reasons we have conducted the analysis of the representation of industrial robots in the welding processes.

Automation of Welding Production Processes by Use of Industrial
Robots
Welding procedures: spot welding, arc welding, laser welding, and soldering are part of procedures that are dangerous for workers to perform because of the dangerous gases that can damage their health. In addition, these are boring, difficult and monotonous jobs that should be avoided by the workers. Industrial robots must be used instead, except in specific tasks when it is not possible to apply robots. In order to obtain the real illustration of the automation of these jobs in the world, we need to conduct an analysis of the representation of industrial robots in welding processes. The representation of industrial robots in welding processes is shown in Fig. 4. The statistical data on the tendency of representation of industrial robots were obtained from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the Organi‐ zation for Economic Co-operation development (OECD) [3, 4, 15–21].
Number of units
Fig. 4. Annual tendency of representation of industrial robots in the welding process worldwide and on the continents of Asia/Australia, Europe and North America for the period 2010–2016 [15– 21]
it can be seen that the representation in welding processes is 25%, representing one quarter of used industrial robots in all processes worldwide. The first place by the pres‐ ence of industrial robots in welding processes is held by Asia/Australia with growing tendency each year. In 2016 about 41.400 industrial robot units were used in Asia/ Australia, representing 2/3 of the total industrial robot representation in welding processes in the world. In the period from 2010 to 2016 the continent of Asia/Australia has increased the representation of robots in welding processes with total 23.000 robotic units, i.e. almost 100%. Representation of industrial robots in welding processes is far behind on the continents of America and Europe, while the continent of Africa was eliminated in this analysis due to the fact that the representation is negligible in relation to other three continents. The representation of industrial robots in welding processes in the North America can be considered as constant each year, and in 2016 it was about 13.154 industrial robots units. On the continent of Europe, the illustration of industrial robot representation in welding processes is somewhat different, as the industrial robots’ representation in 2010 and 2011 was higher than in the last five years. It can be said that the representation is constant from year to year (period 2012–2016), and in 2016 there were about 8.186 robot units. Therefore, we can conclude that the tendency of industrial robot application in welding processes is to be expected, when compared to the overall tendency of industrial robot application on the continents, as shown in Fig. 2, and the application of industrial robots by countries, as illustrated in Fig. 3. The reason for this conclusion lies in the fact that China, which is located on the continent of Asia/Australia, is the country with the largest representation of industrial robots in the world, with a tendency of increasing application in the following years. Higher number of industrial robots is installed in the automotive industry where welding processes are represented [29–35]. In order to obtain the real illustration of the tendency of the representation of industrial robots in automotive industry and how many industrial robots were installed in welding production processes, we have conducted an analysis of their representation in this industry in the period 2010–2016, as shown in Fig. 5 [15–21].
Number of units
Fig. 5. Annual tendency of the representation of industrial robots worldwide in the automotive industry and welding processes for the period 2010–2016
we come to the conclusion that about 40% of industrial robots are represented in the automotive industry each year in relation to the total representation of industrial robots in all other production processes. In 2016, around 103.323 robot units were used in the automotive industry, which presents a very high level of representation, while in the same year the representation of robot units in welding processes amounted to about 65.000 units, accounting for 25% of the total number of industrial robots used in other processes worldwide. We can analyze the representation of industrial robots by industry for 2016.
The accurate illustration of the representation of industrial robots in industrial branches can be seen in Fig. 6(a), which indicates the percentage of the representation of industrial robots in 2016. We come to the conclusion that the automotive industry holds the first place with usage of about 39% of industrial robots in 2016, which is reasonable conclusion, followed by the electric/electronic industry with about 34% of industrial robots, metal industry with about 11% of industrial robots, plastic and rubber industry (i.e. chemical) with about 7% of industrial robots, and at the end food industry with about 3% of industrial robot units. Figure 6(b) shows the representation of industrial robots in welding processes in relation to the total representation of industrial robots in the automotive industry in 2016, which is about 103.323 robot units. It is notable that 63% of industrial robots in the automotive industry are used in welding processes, whereas 37% of industrial robots are used in other processes of the automotive industry. The production processes of the automotive industry in which car body products are manufactured use the following welding methods: arc welding, spot welding and laser welding. The first two processes are far more representative in car body production in the automotive industry, and therefore the analysis was conducted of the presence of industrial robots in these processes. So far, the analysis of the representation of industrial robots in laser welding was omitted, due to the fact that industrial robots are far less used than in the other two processes.

b – Representation in welding compared to representation in automotive industry

we analyze the presence of industrial robots in the arc welding process, we can see that the representation of robots is smaller compared to the spot welding process. In 2016 the representation of industrial robots in this welding process was around 2.415 units in the world. In order to obtain a ratio of representation of industrial robots in all welding processes in the world, we have analyzed the percentage of industrial robots in 2016, as shown in Fig. 8.

Fig. 9. The tendency of annual vehicle production worldwide and in four countries with the largest vehicle production in the period 2010–2016 [11–14]
The tendency of vehicle production in the world (Fig. 9.a) is growing on annual basis, and in 2016 94.997.000 units of vehicles were produced. The analysis of vehicle produc‐ tion in the countries with highest vehicles production in the world (Fig. 9.b), namely: China, USA, Japan and Germany (these countries were selected because of the highest representation of industrial robots, Fig. 3), has established that China is the world’s leader in vehicle production with around 28.431.000 cars units produced in 2016. China is in the first place in the world by application of industrial robots. The second place, according to the vehicles production in the world, is held by the USA, with annual increasing tendency in production that in 2016 reached 18.293.000 produced vehicle units. Japan’s vehicle production positions it in the third place with annual growth, which in 2016 amounted to 13.237.000 vehicle units produced. Based on Fig. 3, we have noted that Japan is the second in the world by the representation of industrial robots, followed the USA in the third place, whereas in the vehicles production the situation is reverse. The reason is that more industrial robots are installed in the electronic and electric industry compared to the automotive industry in Japan. The fourth place in world production of vehicles is held by Germany with continuous tendency, so that in 2016 around 6.062.000 units of industrial robots were produced. As we have stated, the largest representation of industrial robots is in two welding processes, namely arc welding and spot welding processes. In order to obtain an overview of the presence of industrial robots in these two welding processes in the world, an analysis was conducted of their representation on the continents, as shown in Fig. 10 [15–21].
that the sudden trend of annual increase of application of industrial robots in Asia/ Australia in 2016 reached about 20.621 robot units, which is extremely high in relation to other countries when it comes to industrial robots and vehicle production. This is a consequence of Chinese technological development strategy named “Made in China 2025”. The second place is held by North America with increasing representation of industrial robots in the spot welding process, that in 2016 amounted to about 8.932 industrial robot units, which is two times more than in arc welding process. Europe is in the third place with the declining tendency of representation of industrial robots in the spot welding process, which in 2016 reached 1.564 industrial robot units. The reason for this reduced representation of industrial robots in spot welding process are manifold, one of which being that the automotive companies are transferring their production processes outside of Europe. The representation of industrial robots in arc welding and spot welding processes in the countries of China, USA, Japan and Germany is shown in Fig. 11 [8–21].
Fig. 11. The tendency of annual representation of industrial robots in the automation of two welding processes: arc welding and spot welding in China, North America, Japan and Germany in the period 2010–2016
As shown in Fig. 11(a), China demonstrates growing tendency of use of industrial robots in the process of arc welding during the period 2010–2016, with a decline in the representation in the last two years compared to 2014. In 2016 the representation amounted to 8.088 industrial robot units. With the far less presence of industrial robots compared to China, USA holds the second place with a slight rising trend that in 2016 reached 3.948 units of industrial robots, which is two times less than in China in the same year. The third place is held by Japan with almost the same trend as the USA, which in 2016 reached value of 3.687 industrial robot units. The fourth place by the representation of industrial robots in the arc welding process is held by Germany, whose tendency is almost constant in the period 2010–2016, and in 2016 amounted to 1.157 units. Trends of the representation of industrial robots in the process of spot welding are different in relation to the trends of representation of industrial robots in arc welding process, as shown in Fig. 11(b). By 2013, the order of application of industrial robots per country was as follows: USA, China, Japan, and finally Germany. Since 2013, China holds the first place in the application of robots in the spot welding process with a growing tendency in the period 2010–2016, so that in 2016 representation of industrial robots in China reached 10.772 units of industrial robots, which is almost 2,500 more robots used than in the arc welding process in the same year. USA holds the second place with increasing annual trend of representation, that in 2016 amounted to 8.362 robot units, which is two times more than in the arc welding process. Japan is holding the third place with a slight oscillating annual tendency of representation which in 2016 reached about 2.854 industrial robot units in the process of spot welding. The last place is held by Germany that in 2010 and 2011 held the first place. The representation of industrial robots in Germany has begun to decline since 2011, so that in 2016 it amounted to about 673 industrial robot units. In 2010 and 2011, Germany was in the first place in the tendency of representation of industrial robots in the process of spot welding, but in the last five years the trend has declined, so that in 2016 it reached its lowest value. There are many reasons for this tendency [28–35]. One reason is that vehicle manufacturers and vehicle suppliers in Germany are increasingly investing in electric and hybrid vehi‐ cles, another reason is that automotive companies are organizing production in other countries around the world, etc.

Conclusion
Based on the analysis of the automation of the welding production processes by use of industrial robots worldwide, and countries with the largest vehicle production, we can make the following conclusions:
• The tendency of application of industrial robots in the automation of production processes in the world is continually increasing on an annual and total level, so that in 2016 annual level reached about 259.000 industrial robot units, whereas overall level reached about 1.8 million industrial robot units, as shown in the diagrams in Fig. 1(a), and (b).
is growing from year to year in the period 2010–2016. The first place is held by Asia/ Australia, followed by America and lastly Europe. However, when considering the tendency of automation of production processes at the overall level of installed industrial robots, it can be noted that the order is somewhat different. Again, the first place is held by Asia/Australia, followed by Europe and finally America. Continent of Asia/Australia has a far greater automation of production processes than Europe and America.
• In regard to the representation of industrial robots in the automation of production processes in four top countries, we can conclude that the tendency is constantly increasing, with China in the first place, followed by Japan, USA and Germany. Compared to other three countries, China is far more advanced, since it installed around 82.000 industrial robot units in 2016, like all three countries together. • The tendency of the automation of welding production processes worldwide is
increasing annually, with continent of Asia/Australia being in the first place, as indi‐ cated by the diagram in Fig. 4. The second place is held by America, followed by Europe. We have to state that around 65.000 robot units were used in welding processes in 2016 worldwide, of which 2/3 are related to Asia/Australia.
• The highest representation and application of industrial robots in the world is in the automotive industry, particularly in the welding processes of the automotive industry, as indicated in the Fig. 5.
• In regard to the automation of production process in 2016, we can see that the auto‐ motive industry is in the first place with 39% of industrial robots, followed by elec‐ trical/electronic industry with 34%, metal industry with 11%, rubber and plastic industry with 7% and finally food industry with 3% of overall representation of industrial robots in the world.
• The highest number of industrial robots is installed in production processes of arc welding and spot welding, as shown in Fig. 7. The first place is held by spot welding, followed by arc welding, both indicating growing tendency in the representation of industrial robots.
• Analysis of Fig. 8 shows that in 2016 the representation of industrial robots in spot welding process was 52%, followed by arc welding with 39%, soldering process with 4% and finally laser welding with 1%.
• Knowing that the automation of welding processes is mostly used in the automotive industry, an analysis was conducted on the vehicle production in the world and in the four top countries where industrial robots were represented the most: China, USA; Japan and Germany, as indicated in Fig. 9. The tendency of vehicle production has a growing nature. The first place is held by China with the highest vehicle production in the past six years. China is also in the first place in terms of number of industrial robots installed in the automation processes in the industry. The second place is held by USA, followed by Japan and Germany.
• The tendency of annual representation of industrial robots in the automation of two welding processes: arc welding and spot welding in China, North America, Japan and Germany for the period 2010–2016 is shown in Fig. 11. Based on this Figure we see that China holds the first place and differs from other three countries. In addition, it was shows that the tendency of representation of industrial robots in spot welding is decreasing the Germany.
• Finally, we can conclude that the tendency of automation of welding production processes will have a growing character in the future, in all manufacturing processes. Such a conclusion is driven by the fact that the world at the moment is in the fourth industrial revolution that the Germans refer to as “Industry 4.0”. Its implementation in production processes and in the robotic technology itself will enable new gener‐ ation of industrial robots that can securely work together with man and machine, without setting up the fences between them. Robots will gain or adapt new skills through learning processes, and become smarter robots using a great deal of data and collective learning. They will have simplified applications. Continuous quality improvement requires sophisticated high-tech robotic systems. Robots improve the quality of work by taking dangerous, painful, and dirty jobs that are not possible or safe for people to perform.

Abstract. Twin screw compressors used in refrigeration, gas and air com-pression represent approximately 80% of the millions of industrial positive displacement compressors produced globally each year. More than 95% of these are oil injected. Oil injected twin screw compressor is just one type of multi-phase screw machines. Other include twin screw expanders, multimulti-phase pumps and motors. Multiphase twin screw machines are traditionally analysed and designed by use of chamber thermodynamic models. However for further improvement of efficiency and reliability it is necessary to use more advanced modelling techniques such as 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In order to obtain fast and accurate solution of multiphase screw machines using CFD, it is important that a numerical grid of the highest quality is generated quickly and reliably. For that purpose, a deforming grid of a twin screw machine is generated using algebraic transfinite interpolation upon which an elliptic partial differential equations (PDE) of the Poisson’s form are solved numerically to produce smoothfinal computational mesh. This paper gives a review of the current state of art in the application of CFD in modelling of multiphase twin screw machines including compressors, expanders and pumps. Future chal-lenges and development trends in application of CFD for multiphase twin screw machines are also shown in the paper.

1 Introduction
Compressors are used to compress air, refrigerants and various gases in many different industrial sectors. It is estimated that they consume more than 17% energy produced in developed countries [19]. This pollutes the environment with more than 3000 MtCO2 per year, while energy costs exceed €275 billion per year [4]. Based on the same source, it is forecasted that the global CO2emission will increase by 28% from 2015 to 2030. On the other side, the latest EU targets [5] for 2020 are to reduce the CO2 emissions by 20% from the levels recorded in 1990. This requires at least 20% of energy to be produced by renewable sources and the increase in energy efficiency of
