A smart factory can gather a significant amount of data generated by thousands of sensors embedded in equipment in the manufacturing process. The enabled smart factory optimizes maintenance, anticipates failures and helps make the manufacturing process more efficient.

In the smart factory, data is captured, consolidated and enriched with Cloudera’s DataFlow. Cloudera’s Data Engineering, Operational Database, and DataWarehouse provide the foundation to develop applications, reports, and engineering dashboards.

With Data Science Workbench, data scientists can continuously train AI models and use DataFlow to push the models back to the edge to enable the smart factory.
