Smart Factory refers to the use of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence to enable factory production equipment, process flows, production plans, quality control, supply chain, and other systems to possess digital, automated, and intelligent features, and achieve efficient, flexible, and customizable production methods. Smart Factory is also known as digital factory, Industry 4.0, etc.

Smart Factory uses digital means to collect various production data in real time, analyze and apply it, further comprehensively optimize and control production processes, thereby improving production efficiency and quality, and reducing production costs and risks. Smart Factory has characteristics such as high automation, strong flexibility, strong production capacity, high product quality, and strong sustainability, and is suitable for various manufacturing production activities.

Smart Factory and Intelligent Factory are both key means to help the manufacturing industry transform digitally and intelligently, with slightly different focuses. Smart Factory places more emphasis on data collection, processing, analysis, and application to achieve visualization, transparency, automation, and optimization of production, while Intelligent Factory focuses more on collaboration and automated control between production equipment and processes to achieve intelligent and adaptive production.
