Enabling Technologies
There are several technologies that form the building blocks for a Smart Manufacturing solution. These building blocks need to be connected through a platform that enables them to interoperate and more importantly, with the ability to move data in context between them.
Advanced sensors, controls, platforms and modeling (ASCPM) to radically improve productivity, precision, performance and energy consumption. While each individual building block may on its own be useful in eliminating specific barriers to SM implementation, the information flow between these building blocks is essential to ensure that the solutions developed with these technologies are implemented in a cost effective, re-usable, secure, scalable and repeatable manner.
