The Dynamic Future of Manufacturing
Smart factories are crucial to the digital transformation of industry. In a smart factory, real-time data is collected and analyzed from machinery, production lines, and operational processes using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This technology allows for increased automation, reduced downtime, and enhanced product quality. Additionally, smart factories can improve predictions and accelerate decision-making by integrating manufacturing systems with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
