https://www.twi-global.com/technical-knowledge/faqs/what-is-a-
smart-factory#Benefits
1. Level One: Basic Data Availability
At this level, a factory or facility is not really ‘smart’ at all. There is data available but it
is not easily accessed or analysed. Data analysis, where it is done, is time consuming and
can add inefficiencies to your production process.
2. Level Two: Proactive Data Analysis
At this level, the data can be accessed in a more structured and understandable form.
The data will be centrally available and organised with visualisation and displays assisting
with its processing. This all allows for proactive data analysis, although there will still be
a level of effort involved.
3. Level Three: Active Data
At this level, the data can be analysed with the assistance of machine learning and
artificial intelligence, creating insight without as much human supervision. The system is
more automated than at level two and can predict key issues or anomalies to proactively
predict potential failures.
4. Level Four: Action-Oriented Data
The fourth level builds on the active nature of level three to create solutions to issues
and, in some instances, undertake action to alleviate a problem or improve a process
with no human intervention. At this level, data is collected and analysed for issues before
solutions are generated and, where possible, actioned with very littl e human input
The Four Levels of Smart Factories
What Technologies are used in a Smart Factory
Sensors
Cloud Computing
Big Data Analytics
Virtual and Augmented Reality
Digital Twins
What are the Key Principles of a Smart Factory
The key principles behind the factory of the future are
connectivity alongside data analysis and diagnostics;
leading to less shutdowns, improved processes and
optimised facilities.
A smart factory is based around using the latest
technologies and connectivity to drive improvements to
processes.
Using technologies such as IoT and artificial intelligence
allows for a more responsive, yet also predictive, line;
making the most of the available resources to deliver
cost-effective and efficient manufacturing.
Smart Factories and Cybersecurity
Since smart factories are reliant on computing and digital
systems, cyber security needs a special mention.
Data protection and privacy are vital for any business and, as
soon as industry is digitised, cybersecurity needs to be
addressed. In some instances, industry will share data with
other companies for the benefit of everybody, for example,
with safety issues. However, your components, processes and
other data need to be protected from accidental error or even
deliberate hacking.
Cybersecurity issues may create a further cost that needs to
be considered when deciding if your smart factory benefits are
worth the expense in setting up.
Creating a Smart Factory
Upgrading a factory so that is ‘smart’ can seem like it would be an expensive
exercise, but you can make fast and effective changes without having to replace
every machine in your manufacturing chain.
If you assess your manufacturing chain and pick out the most important parts, you
can quickly make changes that will benefit the entire process. Analysing these key
areas may then provide information as to what should be improved next.
This analysis should be undertaken with a diverse team driving it, including
specialists in different areas of the business. The more you can involve the
workforce in the improvements, the more effective the changes will be.
Employees may also need training to ensure they can use any new equipment.
Indeed, rather than needing fewer people in the workforce, the skills your
employees require will change as they monitor systems, collate data and action
improvements, inspections or repairs.
Engineers will need to work with management and I.T. systems specialists to find
areas for upgrading, and a plan should be drawn up to look into optimising
processes, increasing sales, reducing costs and saving time across the whole
manufacturing process.
Introduction to Business Intelligence and Analytics,
Advanced Integration techniques,
Business intelligence integration incorporates data
mining, data visualization, business analytics,
infrastructure, data tools, and best practices to
assist businesses and organizations. Speed to
insight, flexible self-service analysis, and
empowered business users are prioritized by BI
integration.
https://www.domo.com/learn/article/an-intro-to-business-
intelligence-integration
BI integration stages
The utilization of data in routine business operations is a comprehensive endeavor. Business intelligence
integration comprises five critical stages, which are as follows:
1. Data gathering
Business intelligence is the process of obtaining information from various data sources, and then using that
information to inform business decisions. This information could come from a variety of on-premise or cloud
sources, such as databases, data warehouses, or other business automation apps.
2. Data evaluation
Business intelligence integration aims to create meaningful knowledge from data sets that exist within the
systems of an organization. It entails assessing present trends, forecasting future trends, and integrating and
summarizing different types of information in order to improve business processes.
3. Situation awareness
Business intelligence helps contextualize data for the business and its happenings. Understanding the context of
data and making judgments is known as situation awareness.
4. Risk evaluation
Business intelligence aims to assist you in evaluating any present potential risks, benefits, and costs of one
course of action over another. It involves digging into the data that influences your decisions and helps you
understand the associated risks.
5. Supporting decisions
Using information wisely is the goal of business intelligence integration. For you to take preemptive action, it
tries to alert you to significant occurrences like subpar employee performance or market shifts, depending on
the metrics you track. It helps you make the right decisions and analysis to increase customer satisfaction,
employee morale, and sales, for example. It provides you with the information you require at the appropriate
time.
Advantages of BI integration
1. Governed and trusted data
BI systems improve data analysis and data organization. When using traditional data analysis, users must visit many databases to find
the answers to their questions. These internal databases can now be combined with external data sources using modern BI
integration to create a single data warehouse. Every department in a business has access to the same data at once, which eliminates
data silos.
2. Increased organizational effectiveness
By utilizing BI integration, leaders may gain access to data, acquire a thorough picture of their operational processes, and evaluate
the performance of specific departments against that of the larger organization. Taking a broad view of the company can help
leaders spot possibilities.
BI integration frees up more time for enterprises to use data to develop new products and programs for their business because they
spend less time gathering reports and conducting data analysis.
3. Increased employee satisfaction
Thanks to BI solutions, IT organizations and analysts can respond more quickly to business user requirements. With little training,
departments that previously couldn’t access their data without contacting analysts or IT professionals may now conduct in-depth
data analysis.
4. Quicker analysis and clear dashboards
Data analysis is made simple and intuitive through business intelligence integration, enabling non-technical individuals to tell stories
with data without learning any programming languages. Dashboards composed of simple, effective visualizations help business users
of all skill levels comprehend critical insights.
5. Better decision making
Better business decisions are made possible by accurate data and quick reporting capabilities. Leaders are no longer required to
wait days, or even months, for reports. When using BI tools that provide access to real-time data, users don’t have to deal with the
possibility of obsolete information.
6. Competitive advantage
When businesses are aware of their performance in the market, they can be more competitive. Companies can use BI to stay ahead
of sectoral changes, track seasonal market shifts, and foresee clients’ wants.
7. Enhanced customer experience
Integration of business intelligence can directly impact customer happiness and experience. By effectively analyzing pertinent data,
Best practices for streamlining BI integration
An efficient integration plan is essential for successful BI integration in an organization.
A successful integration is made possible by the following best practices:
Consider data security
Security measures are essential to have in place while implementing BI in order to
safeguard your information assets from data breaches. Secure your organization’s data
by configuring authentication or authorization protocols and establishing protocols for
secure data processing.
Develop a BI strategy
There is a reporting procedure in place for every business. Before establishing a new BI
technology, it’s crucial to assess current systems and determine which areas could be
improved. Based on that data, you can create a unique design for your
BI integration strategy depending on your particular business structure.
Install data integration software
The complete integration process will take some time. Choose a business intelligence
solution according to your specific business characteristics and needs.
You may want to purchase a business-ready BI solution. Full-stack BI tools are a great
option. These solutions use built-in connectors to take data from many sources, convert
it into the necessary format, and load it into the target system linked to BI tools.
Therefore, investing in them would accomplish both integration and reporting goals.

INTEGRATION OF THE PLM SYSTEM
WITH OTHER APPLICATIONS
https://www.arenasolutions.com/what-is-plm/plm-integrations/
Disconnected Systems Result in Errors and Inefficient
Workflows
Today’s manufacturing ecosystem
consists of a diverse mix of product
teams and supply chain partners from
across the globe. They often rely on
multiple, disjointed software
applications to design, develop, and
maintain a product. Teams must switch
from one system to another and
manually re-enter data to keep product
information up to date and move
processes along. This can be a labor-
intensive task that results in errors and
costly delays.
Enterprise PLM solutions serve as the single source of truth for managing the product
bill of materials (BOM) and associated quality and change processes. Integrating PLM with
upstream and downstream enterprise systems ensures a smooth handoff of product
information between design, quality, and production teams. Because data is automatically
updated and transmitted across all systems, everyone has full visibility into any changes or
issues. Ultimately, they can work more efficiently to get high-quality products to market on
time and on budget without any surprises.
Upstream Systems:
Engineering Design Solutions: Integration with design solutions such as
mechanical CAD (MCAD) and electronic design automation (EDA) software facilitates
earlier design reviews and feedback from downstream product teams and supply chain
partners. This ensures design for manufacturability (DFM) and reduces costs associated
with scrap and rework.
Downstream Systems:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): Integration with ERP systems ensures that manufacturing receives the
latest released design information, eliminating production errors and resulting scrap or rework. In addition,
teams can easily monitor inventory, supply chain activities, and financial operations.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES): Integration with MES enables real-time collection of data on events
that take place on the factory floor. This data can be used to help manufacturing teams optimize their
efficiency.
Electronic Component Databases: Integration with component databases like SiliconExpert and Octopart
provides greater visibility into critical component details such as market availability, cost, and
environmental compliance information. This helps organizations mitigate supply chain risks, avoid product
delays, and meet regulatory requirements.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems: Integration with CRM systems like Salesforce,
ServiceMax, and Zendesk provides product teams centralized access to critical customer feedback and
data. This can help further inform product development and quality processes and improve customer
satisfaction.

DIFFERENT APPLICATION INTEGRATION APPROACHES
There are various methods that can be used to connect enterprise systems. Some require minimal IT
resources whereas others may involve more extensive coding or customization for deployment.
Application Programming Interface (API)
An API is an intermediary that is used for point-to-point integrations, enabling two different software
systems to talk directly to each other and securely exchange data and functionality. Because APIs
have a defined architecture and protocol for sharing information, they simplify the integration
process. Typically, SaaS PLM vendors will provide customers their own APIs for integration. REST APIs
are well-documented, fast, and can be implemented as needed to support greater scalability.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
An It automates and replaces paper-based transactions such as invoices and purchase orders. EDEDI is
a standard electronic format that is used to move business documents from one organization’s
computer system to another. Is can be challenging to implement and maintain due to the unique and
ever-changing requirements of each business.
Middleware
Middleware is software that lies between the applications and their operating system. It functions as a
“hidden” translation layer between systems, enabling communication and data management
capabilities beyond what is provided in the operating system. This approach is used when more
complex business rules are needed, or a large volume of data is transmitted between systems.
Middleware requires extensive programming and can be costly to configure and maintain. It does not
allow for scalability.

 What is a Digital Twin?
 A Digital Twin of any device/system is a working model of all
components (at micro level or macro level or both) integrated
and mapped together using physical data, virtual data, and
interaction data between them to make a fully functional
replica of the device/system and that too on a digital medium.
 This digital twin of the physical system is not intended to
outplace the physical system but to test its optimality and
predict the physical counterparts’ performance characteristics.
 You can know of the system’s operational life course, the
implication of design changes, the impact of environmental
alters and a lot more variables using this concept. Talking about
life course, it invites me to aromatize your awareness of the
concept with its origin.
REF:https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/introduction-to-digital-twin/
Brief History of Digital Twin
The concept and model of the Digital Twin was officially put forward in 2002 by Dr.
Michael Grieves as the conceptual model underlying Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM). The concept was being practiced since the 1960s by NASA.
They used basic twinning ideas for space programming at that time. They did this
by creating physically duplicated systems at ground level to match the systems in
space.
Example : When NASA developed a digital twin to assess and simulate conditions
on board Apollo 13. The efforts were made keeping in mind only a particular
mission and because of that, this concept didn’t gain recognition until 2002
after Dr. Grieves presented it with all the elements including real space, virtual
space and the spreading of data and information flow between real and virtual
space.
The concept of integrating the digital and physical parts as one entity has
remained the same since its emergence. Although the terminology has changed
over the years till 2010 when it was subsequently called ‘Digital Twin’ by John
Vickers of NASA in a 2010 Roadmap Report.
A Digital Twin consists of three distinct parts:
 1. The physical part ,
 2. The Digital Part ,
 3. The Connection Between the Two
 Types of Digital Twins:
 1. Asset Twins
 2. System Twins
 3. Process Twins
ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL TWINS
 Enhanced Operational Efficiency
 Predictive Maintenance
 Process Optimization
 Data-Drivn Decision-Making
 Rich Insights
 Reduced Uncertainty
 Fostering Innovation and Collaboration
 Sustainability and Environmental Impact
 What Was the Industrial Revolution?
 The Industrial Revolution was a period of major mechanization
and innovation that began in Great Britain during the mid-18th
and early 19th centuries and later spread throughout much of
the world. The British Industrial Revolution was dominated by
the exploitation of coal and iron.
 The American Industrial Revolution, sometimes referred to as
the “Second Industrial Revolution,” began during the
Gilded Age in the 1870s and continued through World War II.
The era saw the mechanization of agriculture and
manufacturing and the introduction of new modes of
transportation, including steamships, the automobile, and
airplanes

UNIT V DIGITAL THREAD
 Digital Thread Definition, Data Storage in the
Digital Thread, Data Sharing and The Digital
Thread, Strategic issues in implementing the digital
thread, Technologies used in the Design Process,
Cyber infrastructure Components of the Digital
Thread and Digital Thread on the Shop Floor
DIGITAL THREAD DEFINITION
 A digital thread is a data-driven communication framework
that connects traditionally siloed elements in manufacturing
processes and provides an integrated view of an asset
throughout the manufacturing lifecycle. In addition to
technology, the establishment of a digital thread requires
business processes that help weave data-driven decision
management into the manufacturing culture.
 Digital threads capture and share data across processes using
a range of technologies, such as computer-aided design
software, product lifecycle management systems and
internet of things (IoT) sensors.
https://www.ptc.com/en/industry-insights/digital-thread
DIGITAL THREAD VS. DIGITAL TWIN
 The terms digital thread and digital twin are
related concepts used in the context of
manufacturing systems, but they refer to different
aspects of a product's lifecycle.
 A digital thread functions as a communication
framework that makes it easier for asset and
product data to flow smoothly throughout their
lifecycles. A digital twin is a virtual model or a
digital replica of an actual physical object or
system and offers a more detailed view for analysis
and optimization.
 Digital thread, also known as digital chain is defined
as “the use of digital tools and representations for
design, evaluation, and life cycle management.”.[2]
It
is a data-driven architecture that links data gathered
during a Product lifecycle from all involved and
distributed manufacturing systems.[3]
This data can
come from any part of product's lifecycle, its
transportation, or its supply chain.[3]
Digital thread
"enables the collection, transmission, and sharing of
data and information between systems across the
product lifecycle" to enable real-time decision
making, gather data, and iterate on the product.

22ME926Introduction to Business Intelligence and Analytics, Advanced Integration techniques.pptx
22ME926Introduction to Business Intelligence and Analytics, Advanced Integration techniques.pptx
 What are the threats to digital thread adoption?
 Data issues
 It is difficult to gain a holistic view of a product's lifecycle and ensure every
stakeholder has access to the latest data due to information across organisations often
being isolated in separate systems. Inconsistent data formats and a lack of
standardisation, both within an organisation and across industries, can cause
confusion; data interoperability is key to creating a digital thread.
 Security concerns
 An interconnected system reliant on large amounts of data are vulnerable to cyber-
attacks. As with all emerging technologies, unidentified vulnerabilities will be present
for malicious actors to abuse. To combat this, organisations should adopt clear data
governance policies and procedures to manage access and control.
 Cultural and organisational challenges
 Implementing a digital thread often requires significant changes to workflows and
stakeholder mindsets, often leading to resistance to adoption. This can be combated
by properly informing all employees, educating them on the importance of the digital
thread. Additionally, organisations may need to train employees to manage data or
software tools required for digital thread implementation.
https://www.amrc.co.uk/news/digital-thread-frequently-asked-
questions
 What kind of infrastructure is needed to support digital thread implementation?
 A successful digital thread implementation relies on a robust IT infrastructure that can
handle data integration, storage, and analysis across the entire product lifecycle. The
key components include:
 Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) System: This serves as the backbone of the
digital thread, storing and managing all product data throughout its lifecycle, from
design inception to service and end-of-life.
 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System: The ERP system integrates with the PLM to
provide data on manufacturing processes, inventory management, and financial aspects
of production.
 Scalable storage and computing resources: The volume of data generated from various
sources within the digital thread can be significant. Depending on the complexity of
operations, cloud-based storage or high-performance computing capabilities may be
required to handle data processing and analysis.
 Advanced analytics tools: Extracting meaningful insights from the vast amount of data
collected can require advanced analytics tools like machine learning and artificial
intelligence to identify patterns, predict trends, and optimise processes.
 Secure network infrastructure: A secure network infrastructure is crucial to protect
sensitive data within the digital thread from cyberattacks and unauthorised access.
 HIGHLIGHTS-DT
 Digital threads interlink all the data related to a
product throughout its life cycle—data from within
and outside the enterprise.
 Digital threads can deliver significant business
value—improved time to market, enhanced product
quality, increased operational efficiency—by
streamlining complex processes.
 Establishing an enterprise digital thread is a long-
term, incremental, continuous transformation
journey for a company.

DATA SHARING
Data Sharing
What is data sharing?
Data sharing is the process of making the same data resources available to
multiple applications, users, or organizations. It includes technologies,
practices, legal frameworks, and cultural elements that facilitate secure data
access for multiple entities without compromising data integrity. Data sharing
improves efficiency within an organization and fosters collaboration with
vendors and partners. Awareness of the risks and opportunities of shared data
is integral to the process.
https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/data-sharing/
#:~:text=Data%20sharing%20is%20the
%20process,applications%2C%20users%2C%20or
%20organizations.
22ME926Introduction to Business Intelligence and Analytics, Advanced Integration techniques.pptx
 What are the risks of data sharing?
 Data disclosure has potential regulatory, competitive, financial, and security risks. We
outline some critical threats below.
 Privacy disclosure
 Every single organization has legal and ethical obligations to safeguard the privacy of
the customer data they own. They have to take appropriate measures to share data
without compromising privacy. Privacy-preserving technologies like encryption and
redaction allow for safe data sharing.
 Data misinterpretation
 Lack of communication between data producers and consumers can result in analytical
misinterpretation. Analysts may make incorrect assumptions when explaining reports
and outcomes. For example, a reduction in customer orders in a particular month may
be attributed to a lower marketing budget, although the real reason could be a delay in
product availability.
 Low data quality
 Data consumers may have limited control over the quality and availability of data. They
may have to deal with missing or duplicate data, questions about validity, lacking data
documentation, and similar issues. Hidden biases against a particular gender, race,
religion, or ethnic group may also be present in the dataset.

  • 91. Brief History of Digital Twin The concept and model of the Digital Twin was officially put forward in 2002 by Dr. Michael Grieves as the conceptual model underlying Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The concept was being practiced since the 1960s by NASA. They used basic twinning ideas for space programming at that time. They did this by creating physically duplicated systems at ground level to match the systems in space. Example : When NASA developed a digital twin to assess and simulate conditions on board Apollo 13. The efforts were made keeping in mind only a particular mission and because of that, this concept didn’t gain recognition until 2002 after Dr. Grieves presented it with all the elements including real space, virtual space and the spreading of data and information flow between real and virtual space. The concept of integrating the digital and physical parts as one entity has remained the same since its emergence. Although the terminology has changed over the years till 2010 when it was subsequently called ‘Digital Twin’ by John Vickers of NASA in a 2010 Roadmap Report.

DIGITAL THREAD DEFINITION  A digital thread is a data-driven communication framework that connects traditionally siloed elements in manufacturing processes and provides an integrated view of an asset throughout the manufacturing lifecycle. In addition to technology, the establishment of a digital thread requires business processes that help weave data-driven decision management into the manufacturing culture.  Digital threads capture and share data across processes using a range of technologies, such as computer-aided design software, product lifecycle management systems and internet of things (IoT) sensors. https://www.ptc.com/en/industry-insights/digital-thread
  • 135. DIGITAL THREAD VS. DIGITAL TWIN  The terms digital thread and digital twin are related concepts used in the context of manufacturing systems, but they refer to different aspects of a product's lifecycle.  A digital thread functions as a communication framework that makes it easier for asset and product data to flow smoothly throughout their lifecycles. A digital twin is a virtual model or a digital replica of an actual physical object or system and offers a more detailed view for analysis and optimization.
  • 136.  Digital thread, also known as digital chain is defined as “the use of digital tools and representations for design, evaluation, and life cycle management.”.[2] It is a data-driven architecture that links data gathered during a Product lifecycle from all involved and distributed manufacturing systems.[3] This data can come from any part of product's lifecycle, its transportation, or its supply chain.[3] Digital thread "enables the collection, transmission, and sharing of data and information between systems across the product lifecycle" to enable real-time decision making, gather data, and iterate on the product.
  • 140.  What are the threats to digital thread adoption?  Data issues  It is difficult to gain a holistic view of a product's lifecycle and ensure every stakeholder has access to the latest data due to information across organisations often being isolated in separate systems. Inconsistent data formats and a lack of standardisation, both within an organisation and across industries, can cause confusion; data interoperability is key to creating a digital thread.  Security concerns  An interconnected system reliant on large amounts of data are vulnerable to cyber- attacks. As with all emerging technologies, unidentified vulnerabilities will be present for malicious actors to abuse. To combat this, organisations should adopt clear data governance policies and procedures to manage access and control.  Cultural and organisational challenges  Implementing a digital thread often requires significant changes to workflows and stakeholder mindsets, often leading to resistance to adoption. This can be combated by properly informing all employees, educating them on the importance of the digital thread. Additionally, organisations may need to train employees to manage data or software tools required for digital thread implementation. https://www.amrc.co.uk/news/digital-thread-frequently-asked- questions

Data sharing improves efficiency within an organization and fosters collaboration with vendors and partners. Awareness of the risks and opportunities of shared data is integral to the process. https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/data-sharing/ #:~:text=Data%20sharing%20is%20the %20process,applications%2C%20users%2C%20or %20organizations.
  • 150.  What are the risks of data sharing?  Data disclosure has potential regulatory, competitive, financial, and security risks. We outline some critical threats below.  Privacy disclosure  Every single organization has legal and ethical obligations to safeguard the privacy of the customer data they own. They have to take appropriate measures to share data without compromising privacy. Privacy-preserving technologies like encryption and redaction allow for safe data sharing.  Data misinterpretation  Lack of communication between data producers and consumers can result in analytical misinterpretation. Analysts may make incorrect assumptions when explaining reports and outcomes. For example, a reduction in customer orders in a particular month may be attributed to a lower marketing budget, although the real reason could be a delay in product availability.  Low data quality  Data consumers may have limited control over the quality and availability of data. They may have to deal with missing or duplicate data, questions about validity, lacking data documentation, and similar issues. Hidden biases against a particular gender, race, religion, or ethnic group may also be present in the dataset.
