The smart factory, called 'futuristic factory' or 'intelligent factory,' is a manufacturing platform run by an automated system based on digital data and ICT. The smart factory is fast rising as an innovative alternative to the traditional and manual-labor dependent factory. The smart factory is understood as a manufacturing platform whose technology avails production that is more consumer-oriented than ever. This vision is embodied in E-FOREST, the Group's smart factory brand, which is based on three central premises: 'Auto-FLEX,' which implies flexible and highly automatized production processes, 'Intelligent,' which means the establishment of AI-based autonomous control systems, and 'Humanity,' which implies making hazardous operations autonomous as well as making eco-friendly factories. The E-FOREST is thus envisioned as an organic network of humans, nature, and technology that will help unlock the limitless potential of mobility's future.
