Task:
‘Global-Technologies’ is a system engineering company that develops systems to support a
wide range of applications.
You have been asked as an engineer in the ‘GlobalTechnologies’ company, to design and develop a Smart
Factory System ‘SFS’. The SFS usually includes several
sub-systems such as renewable energy sub-system,
security sub-system, lighting control sub-system, gate
control sub-system and other sub-systems that you may
include in your SFS design (see an example in Figure 1).

Provide a detailed, professional report for your director that contains the following:
1- A review of different SFS and sub-systems used currently in factories including their main
elements.
2- A design of a typical SFS system that incorporates at least two sub-systems. The
system design should include DAQ/ microcontroller and any other required elements
for SFS operation.
3- Development of one of the two SFS sub-systems discussed in (2),
including the software program.
4- Proposal for the next phases of development to include the following:
A. Using a low-cost controller instead of the current one
B. Using industrial networks of data transmissions; wireless or wired datatransmission and
Internet of Things
