Smart factories in South Korea and Sweden – national efforts and company examples

Large national and industrial efforts are running for increased digitization of manufacturing companies across the world. “Smart Factories” is a concept describing these connected and digitized manufacturing and logistics environments. By industrial examples from South Korea and Sweden, the two researchers demonstrate examples on Smart Factories for future sustainable production systems. Magnus Wiktorsson is professor of production logistics at KTH in Södertälje and Sang Do Noh is professor of Industrial Engineering and head of department for Smart Factory Convergence at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea. Prof Noh is also visiting researcher at KTH in Södertälje during 2017/2018.
