WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION?Before industry 4.0 developments, we were sitting and waiting for our mistakes to occur, or trying to calculate our plans based on the limited data we have but the smart factory landscape is now revealing our shortcomings to us before we even don't see them. The biggest advantage of current technological evolution is how to make the chaos you will experience with bad surprise more effective.WHAT ACCORDING TO YOU ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES PLAGUING THE SMART FACTORY LANDSCAPE AND HOW CAN THEY BE EFFECTIVELY MITIGATED?The biggest challenges that we have experienced most prominently in Smart Factory environments. The first is a lack of interoperability. In intelligent factory environments, when a new operation is added, communication protocols, hardware, software are the main challenges we face in intersystem interoperability. All variants of the new operation to be added make the design phase challenging to be compatible with your smart factory infrastructure. Considering the new technological developments every day, the first model you develop may not work due to the differences in the next technological development. Here's how to effectively mitigate this challenge; standardizations in manufacturing technologies are gaining great importance in this regard. We are Ahmet has worked on many projects for Information Technologies and Automotive Business about data analyzing, data automation, engineering research. He started his new adventure with Geely in China. He had chances before to work with recognised OEM, Suppliers and technology companies during his work life such as Microsoft (TR), Hewlett Packard (TR), Jabil (PL) AM General LLC (USA), Jaguar Land Rover LLC (UK), Koç System (TR), Tofas/Fiat (TR), Ford Otosan (TR), Toyota (South Africa), MAN (TR), Donghee (KR), Otokar (TR).Ahmet Can ARIKAN
