A smart factory stands for a production environment in which people, machines, automation devices and software are in perfect harmony with each other. The vision of a perfect Industry 4.0 production world is putting pressure on many sheet metal production companies. Because in most cases, the first task to achieve an efficient, flexible and transparent workshop that meets the highest quality requirements is digitization. We have integrated a production management system with a synergistic plant performance management system to unify and network segregated machine tools, automation devices and production processes for process optimization. The Smart Factory is a production environment in which people, machines, automation and software are in perfect harmony with each other.
