Smart Factory is the vision of a production environment in which manufacturing plants and logistics systems organize themselves as far as possible without human intervention. The article describes a project, at the start of which none of the participants created a relation to “Smart Factory” or “Industry 4.0”. Rather, the objective was to drastically reduce the current delivery time of 6-8 weeks. The result is a completely digitized business process from order creation, product development, design, manufacturing as well as processing for “batch size 1” with a reduction in lead time to less than 10 %.
