Connected Enterprise / Smart Factory
A smart factory is a digitally connected, highly automated manufacturing environment where machines, sensors, control systems, and enterprise applications work together seamlessly to optimize production. It uses Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), advanced analytics, AI, and real-time data exchange to monitor, control, and improve operations continuously. In a smart factory, every process—from material flow and equipment health to quality control and energy management—is visible, measurable, and adaptable.
Real-Time Data Visibility – Continuous monitoring and instant access to accurate production, quality, and performance data across all levels of the plant.
Interoperability – Ability to integrate multi-vendor automation systems, protocols, and software platforms using industry standards like ISA-95 and OPC UA.
Advanced Analytics & AI – Predictive and prescriptive analytics for process optimization, energy efficiency, and proactive maintenance.
Automation & Orchestration – High level of control automation with adaptive scheduling, recipe management, and workflow optimization.
Scalability – Flexible infrastructure to easily expand capacity, integrate new technologies, and adapt to changing market demands.
Cybersecurity – Multi-layer security strategies following ISA/IEC 62443 standards to protect OT and IT systems from cyber threats.
Energy & Resource Efficiency – Continuous tracking and optimization of resource usage to lower costs and support sustainability goals.
Self-Optimizing Operations – Systems that learn and adjust parameters automatically for consistent quality and performance.
Human–Machine Collaboration – Empowering operators with intuitive interfaces, AR/VR tools, and mobile access to enhance decision-making.
