Smart factory self-assessment

Check your readiness with five questions. Answers are not stored or transmitted. This is preparation guidance, not an official factory-level assessment or funding eligibility decision.

1. Are production and quality records digital?
2. Do you collect equipment and sensor data automatically?
3. Are MES/ERP and shop-floor data connected?
4. Do you regularly analyze quality and utilization metrics?
5. Does your improvement project have an owner and budget?
