Analyze current processes bottlenecks and opportunities for optimization.
Prioritize key technologies such as IoT sensors cloud computing and data analytics.
Factor in all costs including equipment installation training and ongoing maintenance.
Ensure high bandwidth low latency and reliable connectivity.
Monitor key parameters such as temperature pressure vibration and energy consumption.
Use cloud computing or on-premises servers.
Integrate MES with other enterprise systems such as ERP and CRM.
Use machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.
Use firewalls intrusion detection systems and access control mechanisms.
Ensure that employees have the necessary skills to operate and maintain the smart factory infrastructure.
Test and refine the system before expanding it to other areas.
Monitor key performance indicators and identify areas for further enhancement.
