What Is A Smart Factory?
Leaping forward from traditional machine automation, the Smart factory deploys smart manufacturing technologies for Industry 4.0. Physical machines are fitted with smart sensors and are connected to a cloud network where it uses data from connected operations and production systems to learn and adapt to spontaneous situations and make real-time decisions.
Imagine your machines telling you when their temperature is out of desired levels, and you are able to receive alert notifications through your mobile device. This will greatly reduce 30-50% of unscheduled machine downtime, troubleshooting time & maintenance costs while accelerating productivity & machine efficiency.
