2. How can manufacturing be smart if it doesn't have a brain?

3. Here's how it works...

4. Smart manufacturing uses fully
integrated and collaborative
manufacturing systems to respond
in real time to obstacles or
challenges faced by a factory.

5. These 'Smart' machines process data to
streamline production, respond to
customer demands, and reduce the risk of
product failures and safety issues on the
plant floor.

8. The Internet of Things

9. What is it?
The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a
network of devices, machines,
buildings, and equipment that can
exchange data and information
digitally.

10. What is it?
The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a
network of devices, machines,
buildings, and equipment that can
exchange data and information
digitally.
Why does it matter?
It enables remote access
throughout the network, allowing
each network-connected device to
communicate without manual
interference.

11. Machine-to-Machine

12. What is it?
Machine-to-Machine, or M2M,
provides remote access to one
machine's data from another.

13. What is it?
Why does it matter?
It monitors machine performance
throughout the manufacturing
operation and ensures that all runs
smoothly.
Machine-to-Machine, or M2M,
provides remote access to one
machine's data from another.

14. Cloud Computing

15. What is it?
Cloud Computing is a phrase used to
describe a machine's ability to access
data via the Internet.

16. What is it?
Cloud Computing is a phrase used to
describe a machine's ability to access
data via the Internet.
Why does it matter?
It's useful in manufacturing
because internet-based data can
be shared and accessed on an
immediate and on-demand basis.

17. Preventive Maintenance

18. What is it?
Preventive maintenance is an
ongoing, planned process that
follows guidelines for inspecting,
detecting, and correcting equipment
failure.

19. What is it?
Why does it matter?
Preventive maintenance is an
ongoing, planned process that
follows guidelines for inspecting,
detecting, and correcting equipment
failure.
It eliminates unnecessary
inspections and maintenance tasks,
making operations more reliable
and cost-effective.

20. Predictive Analytics

21. What is it?
Predictive analytics is an automated
process that looks at the history of
machine failures to predict future
equipment issues.

22. What is it?
Why does it matter?
Predictive analytics is an automated
process that looks at the history of
machine failures to predict future
equipment issues.
It compares machine sensor data to
spot potential problems, giving
manufacturers the insight they need
to better anticipate maintenance
and productivity issues.
