The SmartFactoryKL production plant employs multiple cloud-based computing solutions:

COMPANY CLOUDS from Phoenix Contact and METTLER TOLEDO are connected to the corresponding edge devices. The training of the adaptive AI systems takes place in the cloud-based solutions from IBM. The SmartFactoryKL CLOUD, as a higher-level cloud platform, consolidates the data from the manufacturer clouds, checks it, and distributes it to appropriate targets – for example, to smart data glasses.

The SERVICE PROVIDER CLOUD is connected directly via 5G technology to the flexible transport system. It performs a quality control check using the optical recognition data from the workpiece. Early detection of potentially defective products enables their removal from the production flow.
