PROJECTS
11 dedicated use cases
Factory-X focuses on developing 11 dedicated use cases that aim to enhance and integrate both horizontal and vertical aspects of the supply chain within industrial operations. These use cases are designed to extend the existing supply chain-oriented solutions by adding vertical integration, which directly connects and optimizes shop floor operations. Each use case is centered around specific business applications, which are carefully conceptualized, prototypically developed, and validated to ensure they address the unique needs of the manufacturing environment.
This holistic approach enables a seamless integration of processes across different levels of production, from supply chain management to on-the-ground operations, ultimately driving efficiency and innovation in industrial settings.
