Smart Factory — Solution Blueprint

Status: Experimental · Timeline: Now · Path: examples/end_to_end/pick_and_place_cell/

Official Solution Blueprint for industrial arms, pick-and-place cells, OPC-UA/Matter integration, and predictive maintenance.

Full roadmap entry: ROADMAP.md § Smart Factory

---

Purpose

Operate manufacturing cells with vision-guided manipulation, machine health monitoring, degraded-mode recovery, and executive readiness scorecards for shift handoff.

Platform pillars used

Pillar	Capabilities
Verification	Readiness, assurance (prognostics, anomaly), recovery
Device & Fleet	Device tree (cell, arm, conveyor), health policies
Operations	Drift detection, scorecards, Control Center
Security	OPC-UA TLS, compliance profiles
Packages	spanda-opcua, spanda-matter, spanda-moveit, spanda-prognostics

Reference architecture

Manufacturing Cell
├── Vision agent (pick detection)
├── Arm + gripper actuators
├── Conveyor / staging safety zones
├── OPC-UA / Matter plant bus (packages)
├── Prognostics on vibration/temperature
├── Cell pause on fault → recovery planner
└── Control Center executive scorecard

Device tree

Node	Role
cell	Logical manufacturing unit
arm	Manipulator with gripper
