Smart Factory (Industry 4.0)

The smart factory is a vision where production facilities and systems can self-organize without human intervention. They must communicate using a common language. The concept of continuous improvement (KVP) should also be applied in this factory. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) play a crucial role in this. CPS involves the integration of mechanics and IT to control complex components. Information exchange occurs in real-time. A smart product contains its own experiential data during production and can store and communicate this data in real-time. This requires a certain level of intelligence in the components. Rapid reconfiguration and platform-independent standards must be in place.
Objective
  • Flexible adaptation to changes
  • Self-organizing systems
  • Platform-independent standards
  • Just-in-time production
  • Enhanced innovation capabilities

Smart Factory Challenges:

Real-time Information
Data Security
Data Transmission
Short Product Life Cycles
No Product Without Service
Modular Construction

In the context of the KVP (Continuous Improvement Process), it’s important to recognize that even with fully automated production, human involvement is still necessary for implementing improvements. In the future, humans will be developers and optimizers rather than just workers or managers. Without KVP and reliance on technology alone, competitiveness will decline. Lean Management plays a crucial preparatory role for Industry 4.0.

It is estimated that the Fourth Industrial Revolution will be completed by 2050 or later. Managing large data volumes (Big Data) and political changes within society and organizations will play a crucial role. Significant advantages include reducing information complexity for users through standards and services.
