Abstract
To make production more competitive, the new factories need to be built according to the guidelines of smart factories. The existing literature describes different approaches how to plan and design the smart factories. Therefore, the paper presents a step-by-step methodology for efficient planning of smart factory from the initial idea to the final realization in the real environment. The methodology includes eight crucial steps, which covers organizing the workshops in the company, explaining terms and definitions commonly used for smart factories, analysing and defining the employee's competences and the technological level of the company, analysing the possibilities of integration of smart I4.0 technologies, developing of digital twins at different levels, designing the visualization and finally building the smart factory in a real environment. The methodology is designed according to the needs of several partners and manufacturers, which are collaborating within the various European projects related to the smart factories.
