The project focuses on defining the factory as a machine, a system in which the important components can be described as models that represent resources over time, in the Lean way. We will identify the requirements for the three models that represent the Smart factory: Lean Accounting, which variables and relations represent the economic model of the company that owns the factory Lean Manufacturing, which variables and relations represent the way of producing Cost Engineering, which variables represent the product cost. The experimental development aims at making the whole factory a big measuring machine, by developing the following prototype infrastructure: Edge Computing network nodes and intelligent gateways Cyber Physical System composed of: measuring machine modelling machine reasoning and running machine universal interface machine.
