Abstract
In recent years, the adoption and application of new technologies - Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI), to name a few - has accelerated in manufacturing. To remain competitive, manufacturing companies are looking to these digital technologies as a way to increase the efficiency and flexibility of their production. This chapter describes the fundamentals of smart manufacturing, including key concepts and technologies. Implementing the smart factory approach is a complex transformation and goal-oriented process. The Smart Factory Navigator therefore proposes an integrated approach.
