The smart factory will be the only factory in the future, so getting from here to there is of paramount importance. In this panel discussion, experts from Siemens will define a “smart factory,” examine key considerations in understanding its value and explore important takeaways for how small and medium-sized businesses can take advantage of the technologies involved.
In the swarm of buzzwords surrounding today’s manufacturing sector, the “smart factory” or “factory of the future” buzz is especially prominent. Unprecedented computational capability and ubiquity are giving smaller manufacturing firms access to data that has previously been reserved for major players. If analyzed correctly, smaller firms can use this data to improve efficiency, sustainability, quality, and time-to-market.
In this discussion, we will cover:
- What is a Smart factory?
- Smart technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, sensors, reporting and analytics software, machine learning and AI and digital twins
- How to mitigate risk using simulation
- How monitoring produces actionable data
Small and medium-sized manufacturers can become the smart factories of the future. Watch to learn how quickly this can be achieved.
