The architecture of a smart factory is generally divided into five aspects. The first aspect is the infrastructure layer of the smart factory (factory network, workshop networking, etc.). The second aspect is the intelligent equipment layer of the smart factory (smart production equipment, energy measurement and monitoring equipment, etc.). The third aspect is the intelligent production line layer of the smart factory (automated/flexible production lines, etc.). The fourth aspect is the smart workshop layer of the smart factory (MES, APS, WMS, etc.). The fifth aspect is the plant management and control layer of the smart factory (production command system).
