Markets are nowadays oriented towards high quality products that are produced in small series production with fast delivery dates. Therefore, manufacturing companies are forced to adapt their production processes and make them more flexible and efficient. In that sense, this paper presents digital transformation of manufacturing as a concept of product innovations in which conventional methods and models are replaced by digital ones through all stages of product lifecycle. Digital transformation or digitalization of manufacturing refers to the interaction between physical and digital models within the production process. That is the crucial step towards the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept which is fully focused on the integration of manufacturing with information technologies and digital services.
