Operational Impact
The implementation of Advantech's smart factory solution transformed BAT's production process. The smart monitoring systems improved in-factory logistics management and equipment maintenance by automatically communicating across the network and collecting production data. The use of networking devices allowed for the development of a smart factory solution that effectively transformed the factory's production. The solution also provided the flexibility for BAT to meet the barcoding requirements on all products and comply with governmental regulations. Additionally, the modularity and flexibility of the Advantech products allowed BAT to capitalize on a minimal hardware footprint, further minimizing requirements and maximizing production efficiency. | |
