6. What is a Smart Factory?
“a manufacturing solution that provides such flexible and adaptive
production processes that will solve problems arising on a production
facility with dynamic and rapidly changing boundary conditions in a world
of increasing complexity. This special solution could, on one hand, be
related to automation, understood as a combination of software, hardware
and/or mechanics, which should lead to optimization of manufacturing
resulting in reduction of unnecessary labor and waste of resource. On the
other hand, it could be seen in a perspective of collaboration between
different industrial and nonindustrial partners, where the smartness comes
from forming a dynamic organization”

8. What is a Foundry 4.0?
“I would define Foundry 4.0 as anything to do with new
emergent technologies, processes, procedures, and systems,
that have a socio-economic impact on how foundries are
currently operated,” affirms Hideki Gebken, engineering
manager for Standard Manufacturers Services Limited
(Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada).
