Smart factory application integration

A method for selectively enforcing business logic on a plurality of different applications using smart factory system architecture, the system architecture comprising one or more processors executing instructions stored in memory, the method comprising:

• maintaining a smart factory in communication with both one or more systems of record and a plurality of different applications running on a plurality of client devices, each application comprising an application-specific user interface;
• storing a smart factory entity set obtained from the one or more systems of record, the entity set comprising customer data and one or more user interface rules governing use of the customer data;
• and
• transmitting one or more user interface rules from the entity set to one or more of the plurality of different applications, each application hosted on a remote client machine, each application comprising:
• an application-specific user interface;
• and
• an integrator configured to receive the user interface rules from the smart factory and execute an update to enforce the user interface rules on the application-specific user interface;
• wherein;
• each application is configured to bypass the system of record and request data from the entity set from the smart factory;
• and
• the smart factory is configured to transmit an entire entity set to the application in response to a request for one entity from the entity set.

A method for selectively enforcing a logical template on a plurality of different applications using smart factory system architecture, the system architecture comprising one or more processors executing instructions stored in memory, the method comprising:

• storing customer data and metadata associated with the customer data in one or more systems of record;
• running a plurality of different applications on a plurality of client machines, each application comprising a user interface;
• storing in a smart factory, the smart factory in communication with both the one or more systems of record and the plurality of applications:
• an entity set, the entity set comprising the customer data and metadata, the customer data and metadata obtained from one or more of the systems of record;
• a cache memory comprising constant data obtained from one or more of the systems of record;
• transmitting the entity set metadata from the smart factory to the plurality of different applications, the metadata comprising one or more user interface rules governing display of the customer data in each application user interface;
• and
• in response to a request from one of the plurality of applications:
• bypassing the system of record and transmitting data from the entity set or from the cache memory to the application;
• and
• transmitting an entire entity set to the application in response to a request for one entity from the entity set.

A method for selectively enforcing business logic on a plurality of different applications using smart factory system architecture, the smart factory system architecture comprising one or more processors executing instructions stored in memory, the method comprising:

• using a smart factory:
• communicating with one or more systems of record storing customer data and one or more user interface rules governing use of the customer data;
• maintaining a smart factory entity set, the entity set comprising the customer data and the one or more user interface rules governing use of the customer data, the customer data and the user interface rules obtained from one or more of the systems of record;
• communicating with the plurality of different applications, each application hosted on a remote client machine, each application comprising:
• an application-specific user interface;
• and
• an integrator configured to receive the user interface rules from the smart factory and execute an update to enforce the user interface rules on the application-specific user interface;
• receiving a request for entity set customer data from one of the plurality of applications, the request bypassing the system of record;
• and
• transmitting the entire entity set to the application in response to a request for one entity from the entity set.
