Smart Factory

The smart factory is a digitally networked production environment that is controlled by intelligent technologies such as IoT, AI, big data and cloud computing.
It enables the self-organizing, adaptable and efficient production of goods. Smart factories significantly increase flexibility, transparency and product quality and are at the heart of Industry 4.0 strategies.

Example:
A mechanical engineering company is transforming its production hall into a smart factory. IoT sensors, cloud connections and AI-supported planning lead to flexible production that can respond to individual customer requests in real time.
