Frequently Asked Questions About Smart Manufacturing
Still have questions about smart manufacturing? We can answer them.
What Is Smart Manufacturing?
Smart manufacturing applies the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to the production process. It aims to identify areas where a plant would be best served by automation and uses data to improve performance. Collecting this data typically requires integrating sensors into manufacturing equipment.
The sensors collect information on the machine's performance and operational status, allowing plants to identify potential problems, discover slowdowns or process issues, and take note of incidents that signify pending equipment failures before they occur. It's also possible to run simulations based on the collected data to discover potential process improvements.
What Technologies Are Part of Smart Manufacturing?
Smart manufacturing requires a range of different technologies working together. Generally, the resources involved all have some features in common, including digital information, adaptability and flexibility. Plants that embrace smart manufacturing often feature a high level of automation and networked equipment.
Smart manufacturing relies most heavily on IIoT, but it also frequently incorporates technologies such as artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, drones or driverless vehicles, and digital twinning.
How Can I Get Started With Smart Manufacturing?
The easiest way to start with smart manufacturing is to partner with a company that offers a full suite of automation and IoT services, such as Malisko.
