What is a Smart Factory?
In a Smart Factory, intelligent production plants and logistic systems manage themselves. The basis of a Smart Factory is the intelligent networking of all systems involved in the production process. Systems communicate with each other, exchange information on the manufacturing process and react automatically to changed production scenarios. To make this work, manufacturing IT is needed to process the collected data in real time. After all, this is the only way to avoid bottlenecks and make optimum use of resources.
People play a central role in the Smart Factory. Their task is to optimize processes and to control workflows. Manufacturing IT supports people in identifying the need for action and making targeted decisions. On top of that, artificial intelligence (AI) methods are used to process large amounts of data and identify patterns. Manufacturing IT provides evaluations based on knowledge gained and predicts events or results. These predictions allow people to take action in good time.

It’s a match
Manufacturing IT often consists of different functions and systems that have to work together flexibly. To achieve this, extensive interoperability is needed. With the Manufacturing Integration Platform (MIP), we ensure that both our solutions such as HYDRA X and the Advanced Planning and Scheduling System (APS) FEDRA as well as the solutions of other suppliers can interact on a common data basis. As a result, there are no media disruption - but instead a common, integrative interface.
