Abstract
The term smart factory is old now. Most of the automation projects that I’ve done in the last ten years could be seen as smart factories. Many of the examples mentioned in the final report of the Industry 4.0 working group [1] are that type of smart automation.
“We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.”
