Capturing value from the smart factory - EY
EY teams have identified four key actions that can help transform the smart factory from a concept to a large-scale reality at a faster pace:
Get strategic
Get a framework
Get tactical
Get the right solution
EY Smart Factory framework. Running on Microsoft Azure, it includes integrated and standard ways of working for sustainable operational excellence. It provides online services that help build and sustain capability and empower people. The framework also incorporates a number of important solutions, including:
Off-the-shelf use cases that have been tried and tested
Point solutions to address critical shop floor challenges
Practical applications of digital technologies focused on creating immediate value
The EY Smart Factory framework is built on the Catalyst Smart Deployment system, which is a cloud-based operational excellence solution that helps companies enhance their supply chain and manufacturing performance improvement programs.

What is a Smart Factory?
The development of new digital technologies connected to the Internet of Things termed as a group as Industry 4.0, advances in artificial intelligence and automation are enabling a new wave of innovation in manufacturing. The smart industrial equipment that is being now made available by incorporating new digital technologies, communicates with users and with other machines, participates in automated processes that require little or no human intervention that even communicate tween the factory floor and the market are generating dynamic process innovations.
Hence smart factories are emerging. "Smart factory is a connected and flexible manufacturing system that uses a continuous stream of data from connected operations and production systems to learn, adapt and respond to new demands."
The automotive manufacturers like Tesla and Scania have established a smart factories in which a network of devices, sensors, and robots work together with people within an integrated system to produce cars and batteries more efficiently.
Many firms now are interested to understand and build smart factories. But as yet published research on key challenges, activities and capabilities required to support a successful smart factory implementation are in a nascent stage. This study of five smart factory implementations operated by two automotive manufacturers identifies key challenges related to smart factory implementation and proposes a maturity model for smart factory implementation.
Challenges for Smart Factory Implementation
Challenges fell into three broad categories: people challenges, technology challenges, and process challenges.
Based on the analysis of interview data, the authors proposed three overarching principles underlying a successful smart factory implementation:
- Cultivate digital people
- Introduce Agile processes
- Configure modular technology
Smart factory maturity model
Level 1. Understanding Connected technologies
Level 2. Structured data gathering and sharing
Level 3. Real-time process analytics and optimization
Level 4. Smart and predictable manufacturing
Benefits of Smart Factory Implementation
Increased process efficiency
Lower operational cost
Increased product quality
Increased safety and sustainability
