MPDV Pushes Transformation to Smart Factory

Model Smart Factory Elements supports manufacturing companies to purposefully implement the plan of a smart factory

Small lot sizes, short delivery times: Increased requirements in production present manufacturing companies with new challenges. MPDV’s Smart Factory Elements model supports companies in successfully meeting these challenges and turning the vision of a Smart Factory into reality.

The Planning & Scheduling element symbolizes the planning capability of production in terms of resources, time and maintenance. The specifications can be efficiently implemented and documented. The Execution element represents this. Based on the collected data, analyses can be created to check whether the figures are met and to identify potentials for optimization (Analytics). For example, the analyses are used to make predictions about how likely a malfunction is or when maintenance is necessary again (prediction). The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) collects data and provides these.

The five elements of MPDV’s Smart Factory Elements model help to implement the plan of a Smart Factory in a specific way. MPDV’s model makes a significant contribution to the successful transformation of manufacturing companies into Smart Factories.
