Smart factory is a new stage of information development of the first generation factory.

In smart factories, machines really play a key role. They are responsible for performing tasks and interpreting data, which are not only used to integrate the information of customers and business partners, but also to participate in the manufacture and assembly of customized products. 

However, although machines play a great role in automation and production efficiency, human beings are still the core of manufacturing. Humans are mainly responsible for controlling, programming and maintaining machines to ensure that the production process can proceed smoothly.The goal of a smart factory is not to completely eliminate manpower, but to make people's work more valuable. 

This means that through the application of technology, human beings can focus on higher-level thinking activities, such as strategic planning, innovative design and solving complex problems, rather than being bound by simple repetitive work. Intelligent factory aims to realize man-machine cooperation, give full play to their respective advantages and jointly improve production efficiency and product quality.

Smart factories also emphasize the integration and utilization of data. By collecting and analyzing the data in the production process, enterprises can better understand the production situation, predict potential problems and optimize the production process, thus achieving more efficient resource utilization and cost control.Although smart factories rely on machines to work, the role of human beings is still indispensable. 

The real value of smart factory lies in realizing man-machine cooperation, enhancing the value of human work, and promoting the development of manufacturing industry in a more efficient and sustainable direction.
