The term “smarten” refers to the process of modernizing or upgrading older technologies (e.g. old production lines) in a cost-effective manner. This often involves implementing new technologies, optimizing processes, and improving efficiency without the need for extensive capital investment or complete overhaul.

To “smarten” an old equipment means to introduce innovative solutions and upgrades that enhance its performance, productivity, and competitiveness while minimizing costs and disruptions. This may include integrating IoT sensors for real-time monitoring, adopting predictive maintenance techniques, optimizing workflows through automation, or retrofitting existing machinery with smart controls and digital interfaces even with an AI-software running in the background.

In essence, “smarten” implies making strategic improvements to old technologies to bring them up to contemporary standards and align them with modern manufacturing practices, all within a
budget-friendly framework.
