Local Smart Factory Tier Programmes
Recognition is usually staged rather than awarded all at once.
Typical tiers
| Tier | Emphasis |
|---|---|
| Digital workshop | Equipment connectivity and data collection |
| Smart workshop | Visualisation and traceability of production |
| Smart factory | Systems integration, scheduling and energy optimisation |
| Benchmark factory | Replicable ways of working |
How to progress
- Get data collection and the basic network right first.
- Solve one or two pain points with visible results before expanding.
- Keep before and after data as evidence for assessment.
- Watch the entry conditions and timing for the local candidate pool.
Programmes normally require staged application. Check the current local notice for detail.
