Comprehensive Report on Global Smart Factory Market by Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence
INTRODUCTION
A smart factory
is an advanced and automated manufacturing facility with cyber-physical systems
ensuring efficient movement of materials across the factory floor Smart
Factories basically help in the Automation of the manufacturing process. Stringent
industrial regulations regarding worker’s safety in hazardous working
conditions have further augmented the need for these solutions across
industries. The implementation of these
solutions eliminates the involvement of the workforce at the production floor
which reduces the risk of industrial accidents.
However, factors like high
maintenance and initial cost and lack of skilled workforce hamper the market growth. Geographically, the Asia Pacific region is expected to
dominate the Smart Factory Market over the forecasted period on
account of high growth being observed in the manufacturing sector in
emerging economies of China, and India. Market Research is done by
the knowledge sourcing industry due to the huge scope with the respective
industry.

GROWING ADOPTION
OF SMART AUTOMATION SOLUTION
Factors like
evolving environmental regulations, escalating energy demand, and
supportive legislations drive the adoption of smart automation solutions.
In addition, an increase in the competitive market owing to rapid
industrialization and globalization further accelerates the need for automation
in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, the evolution of IoT (Internet of
Things) accelerates the demand for smart automation solutions while augmenting
the smart factory market. Automation has several advantages; it reduces
the labor cost, eliminates human error, increases efficiency and helps in
overall business development. This drives the demand for the automated robotic
machine which minimizes the wastage of raw material and reduces the operating
time while augmenting the smart factory market growth.

End-user the industry for the smart factory automation sector is broadly segmented as process
industries, and discrete industries. Food and beverage, healthcare, oil and
gas, and chemical industries come under process industries. Automotive,
manufacturing, aerospace and defense, and consumer electronics industry
are categorized as discrete industries. Discrete industries account for the
maximum share in the smart factory automation market as there
is a significant demand for factory automation solutions for
better maintenance and control of operations, and to sustain the quality
of products.
AUTOMOTIVE
The automotive
industry accounts for the largest market size of worth US$X.XXX billion in 2016
and will continue to dominate the global smart factory
market, growing at a CAGR of X.XX% during the forecast period to reach a total market size of US$X.XXX billion by 2021. Automotive industry
is growing rapidly with rapid urbanization, and increasing
disposable income which in turn, is boosting the need for adoption of
smart factory automation solutions over the forecast period.
Moreover, the implementation of various automation solutions such as PLCs,
SCADA, MES, and DCS to control cost, and improve the efficiency of the
manufacturing plant complements the growth of smart factory
automation solutions in the automotive industry. Use of industrial robots
further bolsters the deployment of smart factory automation in the automotive
sector.
Several other
technologies offered from factory automation solution such as machine to
machine communication interface supports smart automotive factories to
eliminate time wastage occurred due to the delay in the process change also
propel the deployment of factory automation solutions in the automotive
industry. Furthermore, the growing Internet of Things (IoT) and services, and
provision of integration of manufacturing and engineering processes have
witnessed a tremendous growth rate.
For instances,
Ford has deployed a robotic arm with eyes during the production of Ford Escape.
In the welding line of Great Wall Motors, the Chinese automotive plants which
are considered as the most productive lines has introduced 27 ABB robots to work
at 30 different workstations. BMW has also deployed collaborative robots to its
assembly line where these robots perform the final assembly of the car doors.
Robots are also being used in car paintings in many automotive factories.
