Smart Factory Market Size, Share & Segmentation by Component (Industrial Robots, Machine Vision, Sensors, Industrial 3D Printing) By Solution (SCADA, PLC, DCS, MES, PLM, ERP, HMI, PAM) By Industry (Process Industries and Discrete Industries) By Regions, and Global Forecast 2023-2030.

Report Scope & Overview:

Smart Factory Market size was valued at USD 87.12 Bn in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 226.26 Bn by 2030, and grow at a CAGR of 12.67% over the forecast period 2023-2030.

The Smart Factory is a concept that represents manufacturing digitization's ultimate objective. A Smart Factory is a fully digital manufacturing floor that collects and exchanges data in real-time through linked equipment, devices, and production systems. The data may subsequently be utilized by self-optimizing equipment or throughout the firm to deal with problems ahead of time, improve manufacturing processes, and adapt to new requests. AI, Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, and Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) technologies have made it possible to fully incorporate smart manufacturing practices. The smart factory does not include deploying a single piece of software over the whole factory floor and expecting immediate benefits in the manufacturing process.

Smart production optimization is made possible by combining different Industry 4.0 technologies. By increasing the capabilities of both industrial machines and personnel, smart factories boost efficiency and productivity. By concentrating on establishing an agile, iterative manufacturing process through data collecting, smart factories may aid decision-making processes. By continually improving the productivity of industrial activities, smart factories may reduce expenses, downtime, and waste. Identifying and removing misplaced or inefficient production capabilities allows for expansion without requiring the use of effective and/or physical resources.

Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (DFPCL) has chosen Honeywell technology to transform its huge complex in Taloja, Maharashtra, into a Smart Factory, according to Honeywell Automation India Limited. DFPCL is a significant manufacturer of industrial chemicals and fertilizers in India.

IMPACT OF COVID-19:

The pandemic has had a devastating impact on many aspects of society, including the global economy. With considerable declines in many areas, the fight against COVID-19 can only be won via a combined effort of the government, industry actors, and consumers.

With the usage of linked machines, IIoT, and remote management, smart industrial technology has a bright future. As a result of the pandemic, manufacturers are discovering the necessity of this technology, as companies equipped with it have been able to continue manufacturing services and have been less harmed than those with traditional operating techniques. As a result, several firms are exploring incorporating smart technology into their operations.

Before the pandemic, the smart factory market grew steadily, but after the pandemic, manufacturers realized that this is the only way to keep up with changing times, and demand for smart factory technologies has risen exponentially. However, the supply side is still impacted because the components are sourced from various countries, putting a strain on the supply chain and raising prices.

MARKET ESTIMATION:

During the projection period, the industrial 3D printing segment is predicted to develop at the fastest rate. The rising utilization in industries such as automotive, aerospace & military, food & beverages, and semiconductor & electronics is credited with the segment's rise. 3D printing technology is widely utilized in the food and beverage business to create molds for various foods such as chocolates, hard candies, and cakes. The market for industrial 3D printing in the food and beverage sector is expected to develop as a result of this. The capacity of 3D printers to generate lightweight, cost-effective parts with excellent accuracy makes them a popular choice in the aerospace and military sectors, which is driving up their use. NASA, for example, employs fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology to 3D print prototypes to evaluate the shape, fit, and function of parts before investing in expensive equipment.

During the projected period, the PAM segment is predicted to develop at the fastest rate. The rising deployment of PAM systems in process and discrete sectors to construct a complete data repository connected to varied equipment deployed in these facilities, from uptime performance to life cycle cost evaluation, might be attributed to the rise of this industry. The food and beverage industry's production processes are being transformed by cutting-edge technology technologies such as 3D food printing and machine vision. The major goal of all parties engaged in the manufacturing and distribution chain is to provide high-quality products at cheap production, maintenance, and distribution costs. In the food and beverage business, automation technologies provide design freedom, creative and integrated safety solutions, and modern software tools for regulating machine operations.

Innovations and technical breakthroughs drive the medical device sector. The sector has grown significantly as a result of the development of cutting-edge medical gadgets using revolutionary technology. In the medical device industry, smart factory solutions aid in the development of production processes, planning, technology assessment, third-party services, and remote assistance. Due to precision in production, smart factory technologies also assist decrease recalls and waste, as well as boost the profitability of enterprises that manufacture medical equipment.
