Over the past few years, the manufacturing industry has faced the impact of higher customer demands, labor shortages, trade wars, and more. Delta points to three key factors for building a digitalized smart factory: 
1. Evaluate and set ROI (return of investment) 
2. Integrate OT (operational technology) and IT (information technology)
3. Time the implementation

Of the three factors, integrating OT and IT is the most difficult in terms of time and money. Delta’s EASBD is keenly focused on this part and has launched specific solutions. 

Seamless integration of OT and IT based on Delta’s experience
Delta’s electronics assembly solutions cover OT and IT. For OT, Delta’s smart equipment features real-time and in-time functions. All the data generated is transmitted between equipment for inter-communication under an equipment networking architecture, bringing flexible production and fast changeover according to work orders. The equipment for OT is often connected to IT platforms, such as manufacturing execution system (MES) and enterprise resource planning (ERP), for seamless date exchange and analysis. This is the essence of smart manufacturing.

Thorough diagnosis for accurate planning of smart solutions and factory digitalization
“In terms of OT and IT integration and solution implementation execution, Delta’s valuable experience can definitely help customers,” said Ian Yang, Marketing Director of the EASBD. Delta’s team can help with the on-site diagnosis and design new systems accordingly, as well as plan the implementation schedule and forecast the ROI for the company. Delta also provides smart equipment which applies a modular architecture for easy connection. This design allows fast production system building according to customer needs while shortening implementation time. 

To manufacturers of electronics assembly, stability, intelligence and feasibility are crucial for greater competitiveness of the industry. The benefits above must be achieved through customized smart solutions that initiate successful factory digitalization. Delta’s solid experience in this field and smart solutions and equipment can help all customers quickly step into the new era of digitalization.

Delta takes advantage of its own experience as a user in the electronics assembly industry and presents smart manufacturing solutions that integrate IT and OT systems for factory digitalization
