Description :
It envisions smart factories where the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)-enabled manufacturing provide the foundations for creating smart products through smart processes and procedures. Large factories connect hundreds – if not thousands – of sensors and devices, not only within the plant, but also with other factories and the outside world. Smart products will plan, control and optimize their own production process with minimal human intervention by harnessing ongoing developments in sensor technology, machine-to-machine communication , big data analytics and machine learning . The purpose of this digital transformation is to enhance the transparency of the production process across the organizational boundaries of the manufacturing enterprise.
