Definition 
The concept “SMART FACTORY” has been 
defined from the industry revolution as 
“The technological evolution from 
embedded systems to cyber-physical systems 
i.e. the merging of the virtual and the physical 
worlds through cyber-physical systems and 
thus resulting in fusion of technical processes 
and business processes”

The Dawn of the “SMART FACTORY” 
Smart Factory 
The merging of the virtual and the physical worlds through 
cyber-physical systems and the resulting fusion of technical 
processes and business processes are leading the way to a new 
industrial age best defined by the INDUSTRY 4.0 project’s 
“SMART FACTORY” concept. 
The upgradation of the new technology and also the use of the 
Roberts has given rise to the new era. By the use of new 
technology has helped to produce the smart products, and also 
to reduce the human errors . 
Manufacturing companies benefit by increase in the 
production with the less cost and by reducing the human errors 
to increase the customer satisfaction with the help of 
information and communication technology .
Objective 
The basic objective is to make manufacturing 
companies benefit by increase in the production 
with the less cost and by reducing the human 
errors and to increase the customer satisfaction 
with the help of (ICT). 
 Systems and components are themselves optimally 
organize and monitor. The desired result is that 
production is to be flexible and faster, consume less 
resources and less waste production than before.
Essentials 
High-precision measurement technology and 
intelligent networking of machines are an essential. 
 ICT must be increasingly and consistently 
integrated in production systems.
Advantages 
 Reduction in the Human errors. 
Improving quality consistency. 
 Reducing production costs. 
Guaranteed productivity gains. 
 Enhancing the customer satisfaction. 
 High productivity . 
 Flexibility in customization. 
 Faster production
Disadvantages 
Unemployment will increase. 
Uniform technical standards are necessary. 
 Access of Internet is must and should. 
 It is difficult to have Broadband connection in 
Rural areas. 
Problem of malware and virus.
About the company 
Ubisense smart factory 
Ubisense Smart factory is a system that helps 
manufacturers sustain continuous flow, optimize 
efficiency, and reduce errors in manual assembly 
processes. 
Smart factory provides real-time operational 
awareness, adaptive control, and data-driven insights 
by accurately identifying and locating process-critical 
assets 
It delivers unique six sigma reliability.

Automotive Smart factory 
The automotive industry is a leader in the adoption of 
industrial automation to drive efficiency, quality and 
lower production unit costs. 
 Ubisense automotive solutions are utilised in passenger, 
agricultural, construction and commercial vehicle 
production facilities. 
All stages of vehicle assembly, from material and part 
tracking, through online assembly process, offline 
inspection and re-work, through to dispatch logistics 
benefit from the real-time visibility.
Continued.. 
Smart factory assembly 
Vehicle manufacturers are attracted by innovations 
in automotive assembly line methods that increase 
factory productivity and improve quality. 
The production process program or settings are 
loaded reliably to the devices, in real-time without 
the need for manual interaction.
Case Study 
 May 6, 2009 - caterpillar is employing a RTLS at its heavy 
equipment manufacturing plant in belgium to ensure its 
hydraulic valves and hoses are assembled properly. 
 The company uses torque wrenches to fasten reinforced 
tube hoses - made of rubber and steel. 
 When tightening a bolt that fastens a hose to a valve, a 
worker must apply a specific amount of torque - around 
300 Newton meters (nm) - in order for that valve to operate 
properly 
 Tightening was done using a manual torque wrench.
Continued.. 
 Caterpillar utilizes a software system known as PROTRAC, to 
track each part's assembly, as well as who assembled it, and 
when. 
 The tightness of the hose installation depended on the employee's 
judgment. 
 Therefore, the company had wanted a system that would reduce 
the errors, and also to make it simpler for employees to 
tightening the bolt. 
 The amount of torque is crucial because if those hydraulic hoses 
are not properly tightened, failure could result in leaking valves 
when the complete machine is assembled and tested prior to 
shipping for retail sale.
Conclusion 
 Smart industry has been a very powerful mode in increasing 
the efficiency of the industry. Now a day’s all industries are 
striving become a smart industry to resists from obsolescence. 
 The smartness is becoming core competency for the industry 
having automated technology. The industry which is smart 
will stand out in all the terms. 
 The smart industry will eliminate most of the human errors 
and makes the process efficient. Therefore to be always 
leading in between our competitors it is very important for an 
industry to be smart in this competitive global era.
Learning outcome 
 In the whole study I found out that smartness is doing the same 
thing as done before but in the most efficient way using new 
technology. 
 Smart industry is a very big advantage but adaptation of the same 
is highly difficult but if it is adopted properly it will have a huge 
core competency for the industry. 
 The study showed how the job efficiency has been increased and 
time taken to do the work has been reduced and most importantly 
the errors has been eliminated to a topmost extent. 
 So to conclude with smart factory has a great advantage in the 
existing scenario.
