Winsun has a 3D construction printer installed in their factory in Suzhou, China, that produces elements by 3D printing. The elements are then transported to and assembled at the building site to form the building structure. Hence, Winsun is actually 3D printing precast elements and do not 3D print on the building site. Therefore, when Winsun claimed to have done 10 buildings in 10 days, it actually meant, that they assembled 10 buildings in 10 days, out of elements 3D printed in the factory long before.

Manufacturing organizations benefit from the automation brought by the Third Industrial Revolution, but struggle to extract value from and manage the massive volumes of data created by 20th Century process innovation. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) - now present - promises to offer tools to unlock the value of these massive quantities of data with the use of technologies such as Data Analytics, Machine Learning & Industrial IoT. However, manufacturing companies still struggle to convert this data value into business outcomes due to the proliferation of data silos, and the overwhelming prevalence of complex and unwieldy data supply chains which leaves data in an unmanageable state.

For manufacturers, the challenge of ensuring that production efficiency is improved to the point that’s right first time, every time, is critical towards the ultimate goal of achieving zero defect manufacturing and all of the associated cost and sustainability benefits.

The roadmap commitments now indicate the manufacturing industry’s readiness to work towards net zero. There are however conditions required for the manufacturing sector to reach the net zero goal and fully realise the opportunities presented by the net zero ambition. A deeply or fully decarbonised power supply, reliable, in sufficiency and at a reasonable cost is one of these conditions. This includes the development of a hydrogen network that reaches not only industrial clusters but also dispersed manufacturing sites.

Across every major industry segment, the application of advanced digital technologies and Industry 4.0 capabilities offers manufacturers powerful new capabilities to enable flexible production, improved product quality and real-time insight into the performance of their operations. However, these factories and production lines aren’t built by themselves. Designing, engineering and building these advanced systems demand intense investment in time, resources and know-how to solve some of the world’s most complex technology challenges.

Manufactured goods are placed into products in multiple verticals. For example, a battery will be placed into an electric car or a magnet into an MRI machine in a hospital. Manufacturing, therefore, covers all industrial internet of things’ verticals, from smart cities, to automated vehicles to healthcare and mining. Not to mention the factories themselves. The GIO Smart Manufacturing Working Group was established to bring these threads together and examine factories, deployments and modes of manufacturing, from batch-size-one to discrete manufacturing and continuous-process manufacturing. Our focus so far has been in the factory, which will be discussed throughout this paper
