Smart Factory requires intelligent management of production resources such as people, machines, and materials throughout the manufacturing process, leveraging digital technology to enhance information management for equipment monitoring and gain clear insights into production and sales workflows. This aims to improve the controllability of the production process, reduce labor costs on the production line, and enable real-time, accurate collection of production line data, thereby facilitating reasonable scheduling of production plans and progress. Different business activities have driven the development of various information function management systems, and Smart Factory primarily encompasses five aspects of factory operations management: manufacturing resource control, on-site operational supervision, logistics process management, production execution tracking, and quality work monitoring. Smart Factory builds upon the digital factory by integrating systems such as MES, QMS, ERP, and SCM, as well as connecting sensor data from automation equipment, to create an enterprise-level Smart Factory management platform. This significantly improves the efficiency of internal factory logistics, plan completion rates, quality control levels, and achieves unified and digitalized manufacturing management.
