2. 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 .

4. 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.

5. Essentials
High-precision measurement technology and
intelligent networking of machines are an essential.
 ICT must be increasingly and consistently
integrated in production systems.

6. 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

7. 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.

9. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.
