Factory of Future – An Introduction
Factory of Future : A Frost & Sullivan Vision
Mega Trends
Mega Trends are emerging influences across the industrial landscape that are about to revise the dynamics of existing operation.
Perceiving the Future of Factories is a strategic necessity for all sections of the industry :
• The End-Users – to improve productivity and profitability • Industrial Vendors – to design and develop products in line
with end-user needs.
• System Integrators & Value-Added Resellers – to formulate and devise service capabilities – ensuring sustenance and profits
Frost & Sullivan envisions the following Mega Trends that are about to shape future factories. These trends will involve the emergence of an integrated enterprise ecosystem, smart clouds, industrial cyber security, sustainability and wireless intelligence.
Mega trends have diverse meanings and impacts for different industries, companies and individuals. Analysis of these mega trends and their implications forms an important component of a company’s future strategy, development and innovation process, and impacts product and technology planning.

are currently perceived as minor trends.
Of the mul1ple trends influencing the market landscape, Frost & Sullivan has iden1fied those key trends that yield a
greater force in the forma1on of the next-‐gen enterprise. These trends are designated as
Mega Trends

Mega Trends
Smart Clouds
2012 2016 2020 Private clouds Hybrid clouds Integration of clouds Public clouds 2014 2018• Develop a suitable ICT infrastructure
• The intra-factory environment is comprised of production-related ICT systems within a single factory
• A front-end system will support the dynamic configuration of virtual production networks
Smart Clouds Implications in Future Factories
These flexible customized clouds can address a particular business need for a specific period of time
The Next Trend in Cloud Computing
Security Management
Shadowing vendors’ security practices; the IT departments still monitoring applications
Service Level Agreements
Management of multiple SLAs for that may not be equal in quality
Connectivity
Integration with various protocols and
complementary solutions
Data storage
Multiple locations, traffic and bandwidth issues, security risks
Challenges to designing a network of solutions Benefits:
• scalability in user and computer capacity
• shorter implementation
• easier mobile access
• lower initial cost
Managing Cloud Assets – a Strategic Perspective
SMEs taking full advantage of cloud services, particularly VoIP, SaaS, and PaaS Few businesses fully embracing the
cloud to sustain their entire business
The Emergence of Cloud Factory
Smaller companies supplementing current systems
Integrating multiple cloud service providers In-house
infrastructure designed as a cloud platform; Specific for larger companies
Industrial Cyber Security
Why Cyber Security?
Industries in the post-Stuxnet era need to adopt holistic security initiatives as cyber threats have the potential to disrupt process safety, cause environmental damage, impact quality and affect productivity.
• Defence in depth is a structured security strategy that avails different forms of network security to protect systems from cyber threats and intrusions.
• DMZ is a border security level ensconced between the internet and a secure internal network, protecting local LAN networks from external intrusions.
• Defence in depth (inclusive of DMZ), are likely to emerge into MANDATORY security standards in the future of Industries.
The Adoption of the ISA-99 Industrial Automation & Control Systems Security (IACS) approach Industrial Cyber Security Management Policy Multi-level Network Protection Pro-active Threat Assessment Exclusive Industrial Cyber Workforce Defense in Depth Strategy Demilitarized Zones (DMZs) Developing an exclusive Industrial workforce that caters to industrial network security in future factories
Cellular Design
Standards in Industrial Cyber Security
Continuous risk assessment of Cyber Threats with third party organizations for regular updates
Flexible Management Policy towards Cyber Security as an exclusive strategic discipline for regulatory compliance.
The Enterprise Ecosystem
• Seamless exchange of business intelligence between ERP and PLM will enhance efficiency by optimization of resource planning.
• A bidirectional exchange of recommendations between PLM and MES will enable continuous improvement throughout the production cycle.
• Integration of PLM and MES will be a productive circle of data exchange that will aid product innovation and improve manufacturing process planning.

Future Factories: Convergence of ERP, PLM and MES
MES PLM ERP • Enhanced Productivity • Compressed Time-to-market • Improved Profitability An integrated framework of enterprise software with plant floor, provides a platform to tap valuable business intelligence across the length and breadth of an enterprise.
The Enterprise Ecosystem : A Frost & Sullivan Perspective Benefits of Integration
Maximized Growth
Wireless Intelligence
Manufacturing Floor Advent of Mobile & Wireless Devices
•
The future of manufacturing software will not be confined to work stations inside control rooms. The
advent of tablets and mobile platforms will enable site personnel track production line, perform
maintenance operation and monitor process issues from their tablets, on the move.
•
Manufacturing software through mobile apps serving individual activities will reduce complexity of
operation that requires full-fledged software applications.
•
Plant personnel in the future will navigate through sites virtually, and make strategic decisions on
maintenance, efficiently and effectively.

•
Manufacturers in future factories
will be beset with challenges to
create products that cultivate
sustainability across the realms of
social, environmental and
economic parameters.
•
Sustainability in future factories
will transform into a fundamental
discipline applied throughout the
product lifecycle – from conception
to disposal. PLM is expected to be
the platform for implementing
sustainability in future factories.
•
Sustainability is likely to become
an indispensable corporate
commitment – on the grounds of
both, legality and ethics.
Carbon tax is likely to be imposed in all developed & developing economies in future
