In der Smart Factory kommunizieren Menschen, Maschinen und Ressourcen so selbstverständlich wie in einem sozialen Netzwerk. Intelligente Produkte (Smart Products) verfügen über das Wissen ihres Herstellungsprozesses und künftigen Einsatzes. Sie unterstützen aktiv den Fertigungsprozess („wann wurde ich gefertigt, mit welchen Parametern muss ich bearbeitet werden, wohin soll ich ausgeliefert werden etc.“).

DevOps (a portmanteau of development and operations) is a software development method that stresses communication, collaboration and integration between software developers and information technology (IT) professionals. DevOps is a response to the interdependence of software development and IT operations. It aims to help an organization rapidly produce software products and services. The adoption of DevOps is being driven by factors such as:

1. Use of agile and other development processes and methodologies 2. Demand for an increased rate of production releases from application and

business unit stakeholders 3. Wide availability of virtualized and cloud infrastructure from internal and

external providers 4. Increased usage of data center automation and configuration management
