At Eviden , we understand that the convergence of the physical and digital worlds – from Customer demand in market to its design & viable supply plan to its intelligent manufacturing along with production simulation and the wider ecosystem – require the right experience and the right technology infrastructure . Our deep sector expertise means we know how to guide our customers to successfully transform their manufacturing plants into an adaptable , agile ClosedLoop Smart Factories .
Unlike a traditional factory , where people , assets , and systems all operate in isolation from each other ( and must be continually coordinated ), a Smart Factory integrates machines , people , and Big Data into a single , digitally connected ecosystem , and even monitors and triggers its own maintenance . Breaking down silos and using real-time data insights , PLM , MES , and Artificial Intelligent / Machine Learning to optimize production and supply chains .
