Smart Factory Case Study
In Part 2 of this article, we introduce initiatives on predictive maintenance and visualization of the equipment operating situation derived from realizations obtained in the EMS. We also look at the clues to cultivating an awareness to make improvements in the manufacturing site that forms the key to converting a regular factory into a smart factory.

SDGs×Murata
An introduction to the climate change measures being carried out across the entire Murata Group as part of its SDG initiatives.
Smart Factories: Giving Form to Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry
We give an explanation here about the industrial networks used to exchange a variety of data in smart factories while clarifying their differences with consumer network technology. We also touch on their evolution to meet new demands such as coordinating with corporate systems in addition to simply linking up systems and control devices.
Smart Factories: Giving Form to Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry
We give an explanation here about the optimization of variable-mix variable-lot production – a production structure that responds in a timely manner to the consumer market where diversification is progressing and trends are changing drastically. The application of IoT and smart robots is spreading to enhance the productivity of cell production system lines. Furthermore, expectations are also building for the utilization of AI and other technologies that predict the market environment and factory operating conditions.
This article introduces the automation of data recording and management using sensors and IoT, which is essential to reduce the on-site workload of food hygiene management conducted in accordance with HACCP.
Smart Factories: Giving Form to Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry
As explored in this article, maintenance operations are a gateway to building smart factories. Predictive maintenance is taking off. By detecting symptoms of imminent equipment failure on production lines from slight vibration or other changes, manufacturers can take action before it's too late. This thinking can now be extended to proactive yield and quality management.
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has codeveloped a tough and small RFID module that can be embedded into tires through close cooperation with Michelin. This module will bring about innovation in the tire business by managing the usage situation over the entire life cycle of tires – from their production to their disposal.
Smart Factories: Giving Form to Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry
A cyber-physical system (CPS), which is the core information system of future factories aiming to be smart factories, is built by concentrating together IoT, AI, big data analysis, industrial networks, and other advanced information technologies. It is an information system occupying the core in the implementation of digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing industry that draws a clear distinction with mere process automation by conventional factory automation (FA).
