The SmartFactory is a compact, high-level but functional research and demonstration facility of HUN-REN SZTAKI which compresses a production site to the size of a single room and presents key physical and virtual processes of industrial manufacturing in a tangible, explorable way.
In 2022 the SmartFactory will have a cyber-physical production and logistics pilot system with genuine decentralized intelligence and control. Hence, a fleet of small autonomous mobile robots will be added to the system, as well as the new version of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of HUN-REN SZTAKI which fully supports the orchestration of autonomous units. In parallel, all the developments are updated in the Digital Twin of the system.
