The 5 Levels of Smart Factory Maturity
Level 1: No ICT Applied
Manual recording and manual management stage. Most small and medium manufacturers fall into this level.
Level 2: Basic Level
Barcode and spreadsheet-based data collection is in place. Production records begin to be managed electronically.
Level 3: Intermediate Level 1
Real-time production monitoring becomes possible with MES adoption. Automatic equipment data collection begins.
Level 4: Intermediate Level 2
Data-driven decision making is enabled through IoT and big data analytics. Predictive maintenance and quality prediction become possible.
Level 5: Advanced Level
A smart factory that operates autonomously with AI and digital twins. Process optimization and self-diagnosis are performed automatically.
