    The document discusses the evolution of factory automation from manually operated to increasingly connected systems. It describes how today's factories have individual work stations that are proprietary and difficult to maintain. However, things are changing with the rise of "intelligent" embedded systems that can communicate across a factory. An intelligent, connected embedded system uses sensors to collect data about the factory process which is transmitted via a network to the cloud for analysis and to power smart outputs that can automatically adjust machinery based on the sensor readings. This allows for increased flexibility and the ability to produce multiple products on the same factory floor through centralized control that is also tied to the supply chain.

    'Intelligent' Embedded Systems for the New Era of Industrial Apps

    Part 1: Understanding the connected factory of the future & next-gen industrial apps November 2012 Brian Bailey

    The factory floor

    Factories attempt to build products for the lowest cost Quality and flexibility are highly desirable attributes

    The automated factory floor today


    Manual labor replaced by machines Higher throughput and quality

    Single function Usually single product Higher initial cost

    The connected factory


    Increased flexibility Multiple products Centralized control Tied to supply chains

    Problems with todays factory


    Most stations in the factory are designed for one job Each station is proprietary and self contained Increasingly difficult to maintain Very little communications All of this is changing as things become intelligent
