What are intelligent factories, intelligent production and digital factories?

Intelligent factory, intelligent production and digital factory are three different stages in the process of digitalization and intelligent development of manufacturing industry. Their main features and meanings are as follows:

Smart Factory: A smart factory is a highly intelligent, automated and digital production factory. By integrating advanced technologies such as Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, it realizes the intelligence and automation of the production process, and has an efficient, flexible and intelligent production capacity. Intelligent factory is the highest stage of intelligent manufacturing, with high autonomy and intelligent production capacity.

Intelligent production: Intelligent production refers to the use of advanced information technology in the production process to realize the intelligence and automation of the production process, which can monitor, optimize and predict the production process, thus improving production efficiency, reducing costs, improving product quality and realizing sustainable production. Intelligent production is the foundation of realizing digital factory.

Digital factory: Digital factory refers to the digitalization, simulation, simulation and optimization of manufacturing process through digital technology, so as to realize digitalization and automation of production process, improve production efficiency, reduce costs and improve product quality. Digital factory emphasizes the application of digital technology in manufacturing process, which can realize efficient, accurate and sustainable production.

In a word, intelligent factory, intelligent production and digital factory are the representatives of different stages in the process of digitalization and intelligent development of manufacturing industry, and they are the key paths for intelligent development of manufacturing industry.
