1. The transparent nature of the smart factory
You can see at any time how well production is running and where there are currently problems as a result of comprehensive data collection. Key figures are a useful tool for keeping track of important information. Factory Audit Service is accomplished by recording all relevant data directly and without detours. In the Smart Factory, there are no breaks for paper or media consumption. All information is recorded and processed in digital format.
3. The smart factory has the ability to regulate itself.
A control loop can be used to represent a variety of simple relationships. As a result, the operator in the smart factory is relieved of the burden of routine tasks and is able to devote his or her attention to the actual creation of value. Intuitive software tools assist the operator in making the best possible decisions at all times. All processes are mapped as digital workflows in order to achieve this goal.
4. The Smart Factory is connected to the internet.
For the first time, many previously separate systems communicate directly with one another in the Factory Audit, allowing the complexity of today's manufacturing processes to be managed more effectively. Increased transparency and efficiency are achieved through the correlation of data and the linking of different applications. Certainly, this would not have been possible without the digitization of data processing and storage.
5. The smart factory is unique in its design.
Despite the fact that standardization is important in the smart factory, the individual characteristics appear differently in each industry and in each organization. As a result, in order to ensure that these two requirements are not mutually exclusive, the standard applications of the Smart Factory can be customized using simple tools - and without the need for any programming skills at all.
Apart from the theoretical context, we will also demonstrate to you which steps other manufacturing companies have already taken on their journey to the Smart Factory, as well as the successes that they have achieved along the way.
