The planning and implementation of a Smart Factory inevitably involves the application of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Twins, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, and the Industrial Internet. However, to truly realize these technologies on the ground, rigorous consideration must be given during the top-level planning of the Smart Factory. For instance, the Industrial Internet represents the future trend of industrial software architecture, leveraging containerization and microservices to build data, business, and technology platforms. It offers an advanced solution by creating Smart Factory "Applications (APPs)" based on specific scenarios to address practical pain points in production operations. Another example is Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd., which, drawing on 30 years of manufacturing site expertise, has independently developed a set of intelligent management solutions for production equipment. Powered by proprietary advanced algorithms and IoT technology, it starts with equipment data collection and real-time monitoring, building from points to lines, lines to surfaces, and surfaces to solids, thereby helping enterprises overcome the challenges and difficulties of Smart Factory construction.
