The concept “SMART FACTORY” has
been defined from the industry revolution as
“The technological evolution from

embedded systems to cyber-physical
i.e. the merging of the virtual and the
systems
physical worlds through cyber-physical
systems and thus resulting in fusion of
technical processes and business processes”

+The production process program or settings are

loaded reliably to the devices, in real-tiree
without the need for manual interaction.
The automotive industry is a leader in the
adoption of industrial automation to drive
efficiency, quality and lower production unit costs.
Ubisense automotive solutions are utilised in

passenger, agricultural, construction and commercial
vehicle production facilities.
All stages of vehicle assembly, from material and

part tracking, through online assembly process,
offline inspection and re-work, through to dispatch
logistics benefit from the real-time visibility.
May 6, 2009 - caterpillar is employing a RTLS at its
heavy equipment manufacturing plant in belgium to
ensure its hydraulic valves and hoses are assembled
properly.
The company uses torque wrenches to fasten
reinforced tube hoses - made of rubber and steel.
When tightening a bolt that fastens a hose to a valve, a

worker must apply a specific amount of torque - around
300 Newton meters (nm) - in order for that valve to
operate properly
Tightening was done using a manual torque wrench.

Caterpillar utilizes a software system known as PROTRAC,
to ti ack c«cli yai1's assembly, as well as who assembled it, and
when.
The tightness of the hose installation depended on the employee's

judgment
TI eroforc, Ihe company had wanted a system that would

reduce thc errors, and also to make it simpler for employees to
tightening the bolt.
The amount of torquc is crucial bccause if those hydraulic hoses

are not properly tightened, failure could iesult in leaking valves
when the comptcto machine is assembled and tested p ior to
shipping for retail sale.
Smart industry has been a very powerful mode in increasing
the efficiency of the industry. Now a day's all industries are
striving become a smart industry to resists from
obsolescence.
The sinartness is becoming core competency for the
industry having automated technology. The industry which
is smart will stand out in all the terms.
The smart industry will eliminate most of the human errors

and makes the process efficient. Therefore to be always
leading in between our competitors it is very important for
an industry to be smart in this competitive global era.
In the whole study 1 found out that smartness is doing the
same thing as done before but in the most efficient way using
new technology.
Smart industry is a very big advantage but adaptation of the

same is highly difficult but if it is adopted properly it will have
a huge core competency for the industry.
The study showed how the job efficiency has been increased
and time taken to do the work has been reduced and most
importantly the errors has been eliminated to a topmost extent.
So to conclude with smart factory has a great advantage in the

existing scenario.
