Smart factory is vastly digitalized & connected manufacture facility that relies on smart manufacturing. It is a combination of high-tech tools & high-tech workers and provides greater intelligence, creates an overall cognitive & self-healing system and serves to decentralize manufacturing. It also offers real-time quality & time benefits leading to Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), data models and factory-specific templates for rapid usage. Some of the other important benefits are production & remote maintenance, virtual planning of product, reduce workforce challenges, seamless digital network, decentralized control of production, enhanced productivity, integration of IT systems & analytics, and significant cost reduction.
