The control system is the core and brain of the entire factory production line, and it is itself a typical product of a smart factory. To fully leverage its intelligent attributes, the foundational setup of the smart factory for the control system can be considered from an operational dimension based on the factory's lifecycle. The core of the operational dimension is to utilize digital technology to provide full lifecycle services for the control system, primarily reflected in the implementation of digital solutions in three areas: maintenance, reliability, and optimization. How to effectively implement these three aspects has been a goal pursued by manufacturing enterprises in recent years, as well as a persistent challenge. Drawing on 30 years of practical experience from 7 factories within the group, ALSI has launched a smart solution for production equipment. It monitors equipment status in real-time around the clock, from operation to maintenance, solidifies maintenance processes, provides instant notifications and visualization, making production status monitoring more reliable. This helps enterprises achieve a comprehensive and reliable intelligent upgrade of their control systems during the transformation to a smart factory.
