Integration & strategy
What does a smart-manufacturing integrator actually do?

Direct answer
An integrator connects production goals with the machines, networks, software, data, security, and people already in the plant. The useful outcome is not a collection of disconnected tools; it is a staged system in which each project solves an operational problem and prepares the next one.
Practical checkpoint
Ask for a current-state map, a bounded first use case, named system owners, measurable acceptance criteria, and a path that preserves useful existing investments.
