Smart Factory: Factory in Industry 4.0

More and more industries are going the fourth industrial revolution or industry 4.0, incorporating new technologies such as the use of applications with Intelligence Artificial (AI) and the increase of cyber physical systems, making possible what we know today like Smart Factory.

It also makes use of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects all the physical elements witch each other, generating and sharing information, and the analysis of data (Big Data), which will allow you to identify patterns and interdependencies, find incidentes and prevent future events. The use of these two technologies (and some others) allows to supply and process data in real time, and at the speed needed for AI to have real and complete automation capacity of industrial processes, resulting in the smart factory in its most developed stage.

Some features of the Smart Factory are:

• Connected environment (IoT): Connection of physical and digital elements. All machines that participate in the production processes have sensors and transmitters of data.

• Resoruce optimization: Optimize the available resources, both from a perspective of materials as well as assets of any kind.

• Reliability in the use of data: Having the ability to analyze a large amount of data, offers greater security and transparency in order to have reliable and reliable data.

• Proactive system: The system in which the smart factory works offers a continuous feedback, which incorporates a flow of data in both directions.

• Greater flexibility: Highly flexible industrial sector and able to adapt with greater speed and success to any unforeseen event that may happen.

The profits of this type of factory go far beyond the production of goods, the supply chain logistics and product development and quality. Get increase the speed of processes and make factories more efficient, having as limit the state of technology.
