Smart Factory

In just a few words: A smart factory is a digitised manufacturing facility that uses connected devices, machinery and production systems to continuously collect and share data. This data is then used to inform decisions to improve processes as well as address any issues that may arise.

What is a Smart Factory?

Smart factories connect the digital and physical worlds in order to monitor an entire production process, from supply chain management to manufacturing tools and even the work of individual operators on the shop floor.

Fully integrated, collaborative manufacturing systems provide a range of benefits for operators, including allowing operations to be adaptable and readily optimized.The smart manufacturing practices used by a smart factory are enabled by a variety of technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, cloud computing, and the industrial Internet of Things (IoT).
