Abstract
This part of the book addresses the technology aspect of Smart Production. In particular, we focus on the new digital technologies serving as enablers for transforming ordinary factories into smart factories. The part is composed of 10 chapters. This first chapter serves as a general introduction of smart factories, the role of technology in the smart factory and a set of key technologies for realizing smart factories for SMEs. The remaining nine chapters each introduce a specific technology chosen due to their high relevance to smart production in SMEs in general. These chapters will provide a short and concise overview of the respective technologies, discuss the implications specifically for SMEs and provide exemplification of the deployment.
