A Digital Factory is a virtual replica of a physical manufacturing plant, using digital technologies such as simulation, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to optimize production processes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
1. Virtualization: A digital replica of the physical factory, including equipment, processes, and systems.
2. Simulation: Ability to simulate production processes, test scenarios, and predict outcomes.
3. Data-driven decision-making: Use of data analytics and AI to inform decisions, optimize processes, and improve efficiency.
4. Integration: Seamless integration with other systems, such as ERP, MES, and IoT devices.
5. Real-time monitoring: Real-time monitoring and control of production processes, enabling quick response to changes or issues
