SMART FACTORY: POTENTIAL AND CHALLENGES IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Tóm tắt

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is driving a powerful wave of digital transformation in global industrial manufacturing. In this context, Smart Factory emerges as an advanced intelligent manufacturing model that integrates artificial intelligence into every stage of the production process. This technology goes beyond mere automation of existing processes, opening up possibilities for continuous optimization and improvement based on real-time data analysis. Smart factories equipped with AI possess the capability to learn, adapt, and make independent decisions based on complex algorithms. The implementation of Smart Factory is increasingly becoming a decisive factor in determining business competitiveness in the digital age. However, alongside its tremendous potential, deploying Smart Factory presents significant challenges in terms of technology, human resources, and investment. This paper will analyze in detail the opportunities and challenges that Smart Factory brings, while proposing solutions to help businesses successfully implement this intelligent manufacturing model in the current Vietnamese context.
