IMPORTANT
THAN EVER

19. The terms “Smart Factory,” “Smart Manufacturing,” “Intelligent Factory”
and “Factory of the Future” all describe a vision of what industrial
production will look like in the future. In this vision, the smart factory will
be much more intelligent, flexible and dynamic. Manufacturing
processes will be organized differently, with entire production chains –
from suppliers to logistics to the life cycle management of a product –
closely connected across corporate boundaries.
