Smart Factory
THE DAWN OF THE SMART FACTORY:
New communication models will make it possible for production plants and logistics systems to basically manage themselves in the future. Cyber-physical systems that use the Internet to communicate with each other are used as the technical basis for this endeavour (Internet of Things). The product, for example, introduces its own production information into the manufacturing process in machine-readable form. Based on this data, the path of the product is controlled by the production plants and the individual process steps.
