Smart Factories – Self-Organizing Production Units
نویسنده
چکیده
Within the framework of the German Government’s High-Tech strategy, the Industry 4.0 initiative was created, aiming to develop the “Smart Factory”. The approach assumes increased automation and a transparent, user-centred Production Planning and Scheduling. The “intelligent components” communicate with people and systems independently and find the optimal route through production.
