SUMMARY:How to design smart factories of Industry 4.0 with enterprise info
 rmation systems? - Dr Soujanya Mantravadi - Institute for Manufacturing (I

DESCRIPTION:This short talk presents a 4-year research project that design
 s manufacturing information systems for smart factories using a design sci
 ence research approach from an industrial engineering perspective. The Fou
 rth industrial revolution has brought significant advancements to manufact
 uring operations management. However\, the legacy systems in manufacturing
  industry are heterogeneous\, inflexible\, and monolithic\, posing challen
 ges to meet the reconfigurability needs of the modern world.\n\nWalk-ins w
 elcome\, see here for full details - https://www.c2d3.cam.ac.uk/events/how
 -design-smart-factories-industry-40-enterprise-information-systems\n\n\nOu
 r speaker will discuss how computer science applications can address these
  challenges and support smart factory principles such as near real-time in
 formation visibility\, virtual assistance\, decentralized decision-making\
 , and interconnection. The research is based on empirical findings from si
 x large companies and three industrial demonstrators and highlights the im
 portance of industrial standards and design principles. The talk will delv
 e into the challenges faced by modern information systems in the Industria
 l Internet of Things\, such as low interoperability\, low customizability\
 , and monolithic design\, to develop solutions that enable Industry 4.0.
