The bane of lean production is inventory. Inventory is the primary obstacle to the advancement of the lean production model, as it not only inflates factory operating costs but also conceals certain underlying issues within the plant.

Lean production means streamlining every aspect of the manufacturing process to produce the highest quality products with minimal resources, thereby "gaining a firm foothold" in the market.

The essence of lean production lies in single-piece flow manufacturing. It leverages streamlined resources and minimal time to create products of the highest quality.

Lean production fundamentally enables enterprises to circumvent issues such as resource wastage, with dedicated personnel overseeing everything from equipment maintenance to production lines, thereby facilitating the implementation of standardized production management in factories.

Common data acquisition methods in smart factory systems primarily include data acquisition cards, configuration software collection, RFID technology, and manual assistance. Additionally, there are two Ethernet-based modes, which are further categorized into TCP/IP protocol and standard Ethernet protocols.

Notifications from smart factory big data primarily aim to promptly detect issues and enable timely decision-making. When smart factory big data identifies a fault tendency or detects an anomaly, it sends notifications immediately.

The core functionality of the Dtuy Intelligent Factory's data reporting module primarily involves generating statistical charts and reports, as well as distributing them via email.

The MES of a smart factory enables comprehensive collaborative management of enterprise manufacturing, such as manufacturing data management, production scheduling management, underlying data integration and analysis, procurement/cost management, and planning and scheduling management.

The primary function of ERP in smart factories lies in its capability to integrate enterprise information in real time across regions, departments, and even corporate boundaries. This encompasses logistics, workforce, financial flows, and information streams.

Smart marketing in a smart factory is about building a customer-centric marketing system, leveraging technologies such as virtual reality and the Internet, to enable intelligent, digital, and real-time marketing management.
