Smart Factory is an intelligent production plant that improves productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction by applying ICT (Information Communication Technology) that combines digital automation solutions to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, and logistics production processes.

Smart Factory Levels

level of advancement	Step by step content
level of advancement	Customized flexible production based on IoT/CPS	connected to facilities, materials, and system with wired and wireless networks (IoT / CPS) Autonomous factory operation through self-judging intelligent facilities and systems Integrated operation of whole manufacturing process
Medium Level 2	IT/SW based real time autonomous control	automatic control of equipment through management system → Real-time production optimization Real time interlocking between management systems by area: development ↔ production ↔ resource management
Medium Level 1	IT/SW based real time autonomous control	Automatic collection of facility information → Real-time factory operation monitoring, quality analysis Partial interlocking between management systems by area ex) Generation of standard, engineering and order information → production plan
Basic level	Production history tracking management	Automatic aggregate of production record → real-time material flow monitoring, lot-tracking Operation partial management system (design, sales, inventory, etc.)
No application of ICT	Leverage Excel or no system.
