It starts with a <strong>Design</strong> (e.g., a 3D model of a wooden wall element), which is compiled into a <strong>Bill of Materials (BOM)</strong> and a <strong>Bill of Process (BOP)</strong>.</p> <p>For decades, this &ldquo;waterfall&rdquo; approach worked flawlessly. However, its success relied on two critical factors that are now vanishing:</p> https://besok.github.io/posts/the-smart-factory-paradox-flexibility-is-never-free/ Wed, 07 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0100 https://besok.github.io/posts/the-smart-factory-paradox-flexibility-is-never-free/ <h1 id="the-smart-factory-paradox-flexibility-is-never-free">The Smart Factory Paradox: Flexibility is Never Free</h1> <p><img src="logo.webp" alt="Smart Factory"></p> <h2 id="introduction-the-hidden-tax-on-intelligence">Introduction: The Hidden Tax on Intelligence</h2> <p>Building a factory — whether a new site or a major overhaul — is never truly a fresh start. We build on the shoulders of previous experience, inheriting legacies, established processes, and deep-rooted company habits. Yet in this transition, there is always a dangerous assumption that modernizing automatically means making everything &ldquo;Smart.&rdquo;</p> <p>We look at the latest trends — Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), self-optimizing schedulers, AI-driven quality control — and we automatically assume this is the natural evolution of manufacturing. We treat &ldquo;Intelligence&rdquo; as a synonym for &ldquo;Better.&rdquo;</p>
