With the increasing labour cost globally, more and more injection molding factory owners are looking for solutions of a smart factory. But what would be a smart factory looks like and how to design a smart factory? The newly posted video of Haitian group in their Youtube account is a good reference of what would be a smeart factory.

In the video above we can find something in comman of what a smart factory would be. First of all there's a centralized feeding system from which the material for all the injection molding machines are delivred; In this factory all the parts produced are collected and transported to another workshop via a conveyor. What would be in behind these injection molding machines and conveyors to support the running of the smart factory?

The MES system (Manufacturing Execution System) would be a vital part of a smart factory which will monitor the production process of the parts, just in time mangaement of the machineries, products quality control and resources following up. The samrt factory would be smart solution to help the factory owners to reduce the labour cost.

Although sounds great, but the smart factory is not as suitable for the small and medium size producers whom will change the mould frequently. As an information technology based production, the smart factory is an integration of the software and the hardware. It may be easy to change the parameter of the software, but would be a nightmare to have the hardware changed to match the new system.

Cooperating with LESSO group in building up their smart factory for pipe fittings production, SWITEK is experienced in supply robots with protocol for MES and other smart factory system.
