The Journey is easier when you have an experienced guide
Despite the fact that the Smart Factory philosophy has been promoted for years, most manufacturing companies (even the larger ones) are often only at the beginning of this transition. People, machines and processes are not yet connected. There has been a lot of talk around Smart Factory, but little has been done. The questions that companies are still asking and not able to get their arms around are:
How to make Smart Factory tangible?
How do you start a Smart Factory initiative?
What do you need and what does it yield?
"Driving innovation isn’t easy when you’re also running an organisation day-to-day. However, these two goals must come together – that starts at the top and has to include the entire enterprise."

Getting Started with the DronaIoT - Rapid PoV Package
DronaIoT can get you up and running in a matter of weeks instead of months.
In today's manufacturing environment, taking automation to the next level is no longer an option, but a necessity. Smart factories are more productive and are able to reduce operational costs and risks. Other advantages of a smart factory include recording knowledge, preventing errors and downtime, guaranteeing a consistently high quality product and realizing shorter delivery times – all good reasons to optimize production processes.
How does the Rapid PoV work?
Keep the PoV short, simple and tangible; hence it’s designed to be completed in 2-4 weeks. Follow through the simple 3-step process to go from factory data to real time monitoring dashboards.
