Smart Factory

Business Overview

A smart factory is an advanced facility where all production activities in manufacturing are digitized, enabling the creation of an efficient and flexible production system. By applying cutting-edge technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics, real-time data collection, analysis, and management optimize the production process.

Business Features

Connectivity
All equipment and systems are connected via IoT, enabling real-time data collection and monitoring.
Automation
Various tasks within the factory are automated, improving the efficient use of human resources and enhancing productivity.
Predictive Maintenance
Using AI and big data, the condition of machinery is predicted to enable maintenance, minimizing downtime.
Flexibility
Production processes and lines can be quickly adjusted to meet customer demands or respond to market conditions.
Data Integration
Production processes and lines can be quickly adjusted to meet customer demands or respond to market conditions.
Cybersecurity
Enhanced cybersecurity technologies are essential to minimize security threats arising from increased data connectivity.
Workforce Reallocation
The implementation of smart factories reduces repetitive tasks, allowing personnel to be redeployed to higher-value activities.
Energy Management
IoT and AI are used to monitor and optimize energy usage in real-time, reducing costs and supporting environmentally friendly operations.
