“…Reference [24] introduced a data-based smart maintenance architecture and reference model to perform predictive equipment maintenance in a factory. Reference [43] described the three major criteria of the general system architecture, including mechatronic changeability, individualized mass production, and internal/external networking. Product, production layer, supply layer, integration layer, and IT are defined as the five layers.…”

The conceptualization and framework of smart factories have been intensively studied in previous studies, and the extension to various business areas has been suggested as a future research direction. This paper proposes a method for extending the smart factory concept in the ship building phase to the ship servicing phase through actual examples. In order to expand the study, we identified the differences between manufacturing and maintenance. We proposed a smart transformation procedure, framework, and architecture of a smart maintenance factory. The transformation was a large-scale operation for the entire factory beyond simply applying a single process or specific technology. The transformations were presented through a vessel maintenance depot case and the effects of improvements were discussed.

“…We add requirements that reflect our perspective on the smart factory system. It is worth mention, Gorecky et al [45] presented six requirements in a general overview of the smart factory system that are related to modular structure of such system. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first attempt to collect and present the requirements in this form.…”

“…A module is loosely coupled and can be moved, added, or removed from the system in a plug-and-play manner [58]. Gorecky et al [45] described a module as a puzzle block that can work alone or in combination with other modules to form a production system (Figure 2). Modular architecture requires both standards and modular supply infrastructure that can serve different types of modules that are supplied by different manufacturers.…”

“…The other categories are dedicated to one or two requirements. In general, aside from the six requirements set forth in [45], the requirements of the smart factors are neither illustrated nor clearly mentioned in any of the references. It is noticed that requirements related to modular material handling equipment (R2), reconfigurable fixtures (R4), reconfigurable tools (R5), and capturing the actual factory (R15) are not mentioned in any paper.…”

Requirements of the Smart Factory System: A Survey and Perspective

Abstract:With the development of Industry 4.0 and the emergence of the smart factory concept, the traditional philosophy of manufacturing systems will change. The smart factory introduces changes to the factors and elements of traditional manufacturing systems and incorporates the current requirements of smart systems so that it can compete in the future. An increasing amount of research in both academia and industry is dedicated to transitioning the concept of the smart factory from theory to practice. The purpose of the current research is to highlight the perspectives that shape the smart factory and to suggest approaches and technical support to enable the realization of those perspectives. This paper fills this gap by identifying and analyzing research on smart factories.We suggest a framework to analyze existing research and investigate the elements and features of smart factory systems.
