The evolution of ESE’s smart manufacturing system spans the period from 2009 to 2026, aiming for a full transition into the Industry 5.0 era. The initial phase focused on implementing an MES to monitor and control production lines in real-time, enabling the generation of accurate, fundamental reports. Subsequently...The system is evolving into an integrated pyramid structure that links machine data—via PLC and SCADA systems—with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. The ultimate goal is to establish an AI-driven smart factory that emphasizes human-machine collaboration and incorporates predictive maintenance to ensure sustainability. Furthermore, the initiative prioritizes traceability across the entire supply chain to optimize business operations and unlock maximum potential.
