My bad for not catching this in my review — “i.e.” is the Latin “id est” or in English, “that is”, you can casually expand it as “in other words”. So even though you intended that “Smart Factories” should be an example, what you mistakenly wrote was that it is a synonym. What you wanted was “e.g.” which indicates an example. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/ie-vs-eg-abbreviation-meaning-usage-difference

I often guide people to avoid using either “i.e.” or “e.g.” because of this common confusion, and instead to write out “in other words” or “for example”.

(And yes, removing the entire parenthetical comment would be a fine fix.)
