Automated processes are the core of Industry 4.0 and the Smart Factory; self-learning systems that leverage AI to auto-correct, machines that adjust automatically to production interruptions, and cameras and sensors that detect critical information to inform equipment communication systems all align to provide closed-loop capability. The brains of these automated operations are sophisticated and becoming increasingly more so. What this means for designers is packing more function into smaller spaces, while ensuring the unfailing reliability and performance that Smart Factories require.
