Opportunities and Challenges of Smart Factories

Challenges • Competition for scare

human talent

• Limited resources (physical, financial etc.)

• Risk management

Opportunities • Flexibility & Efficiency

& Individualization of production

• Shorter product development

• Increased world-wide competitiveness

Management View

Challenges • Complexity, scalability,

stability…

• Security (& Privacy)

• Permanent reliance on technolog

Opportunities • Opening of new

markets & businesses

• Advancing the state of IT tech. (both SW & HW)
