IEEE P2879

New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.
This standard specifies the basic terms, assessment requirements, indicator systems, and evaluation methods for the evaluation of a smart factory. This standard is applicable to smart manufacturing system solution suppliers, users, and other enterprises to carry out the overall evaluation and diagnostic enhancement of smart factories for factories with actual production processes.

This standard defines basic terminologies, assessment process requirements, indicator metrics, assessment methods and assessment criteria of smart factories
This standard helps solution suppliers, users, and other enterprises identify the general framework and essential elements for a smart factory. In addition, this standard promotes the quality and availability of smart factories, and thus potentially lowers the construction cost.
