Smart manufacturing is a broad, complex, and often confusing subject. It has many parts and many connections with other technologies. Simply put, it is the integration of all facets of manufacturing through the use of information and communications technologies (ICT). It seeks to integrate all aspects of manufacturing, regardless of level of automation, and all the individual units of an organization in order to achieve superior control and productivity. It can give everyone in the organization the actionable information they need, when they need it, so that each person can contribute to the optimal operation of the enterprise through informed, datadriven decision making. With smart manufacturing, energy can be saved at each level of automation. Starting at the device level, replacing an inefficient device such as a motor with a more efficient one will save energy. However additional energy can be saved as a system is made more efficient, and then again as a process is operated more efficiently. Ultimately the entire manufacturing facility operates more efficiently, and the entire manufacturing supply chain produces only the particular items requested by customers. This paper will examine how smart manufacturing saves energy. It will provide a basic understanding of the layers of smart manufacturing and how they all contribute to a superior ability to manage energy use and document energy savings.
