Abstract
The study presents a practical application of multi-criteria standardization of machines and devices in the design of the automated production processes in industry 4.0 and its direct impact on the economic aspects of an enterprise, along with a comparison of the state before and after the implementation of the proposed changes. The solutions recommended in the article also fit into the assumptions of low-carbon development by implementing solutions that reduce energy consumption. The research carried out and presented in the text confirmed the effectiveness of the described solution. The study also presents examples confirming the correctness of implementing standardization, synergy and coherence in the design of production processes. Additionally, a new advanced eLean application was presented to support production processes in the field of Lean Management. The Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) module currently implemented in the industry is concerned with ensuring the maximum efficiency of machines and devices.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to attempt to use barley malt as a natural, organic binder in the technology of molding sand. TGA analysis of the binder was performed, during which temperatures of thermal decomposition of its components were determined. The results of TG/DTG analysis show that a loss of ~75% of mass of the MB binder is organic matter. Over 50% of this is starch. The results indicate the possibility of using a binder made of barley malt as a binding material for quartz sand grains. This fact was confirmed by tests carried out with use of SEM. During the observations, it was found that barley malt forms smooth bridges connecting individual grains of quartz sand. The typical properties of molding sands with barley malt were also determined, compared to sands containing commonly used binders. At the same time, the influence of the content of this binder on flowability, permeability, strength properties, and wear resistance was assessed. It has been found that increasing the binder content in molding mass results in an increase in strength and wear resistance, as opposed to flowability and permeability. Test castings were also made. It was found that the addition of a binder made of barley malt has a positive effect on the surface quality of castings. This was confirmed by roughness measurements of the test castings. At the same time, a tendency to excessive gas evolution during pouring was shown, with higher contents of this binder. Moreover, greater amounts of barley malt in the molding sand (MB 5%) as compared to the lower content (MB 2%) increased the thickness of the burnt layer of the sand by 25%. This is due to the exothermic reaction when more binder is burnt. It is extremely important from the point of view of the regeneration of molding sand.
