Artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing is critical for automating and analyzing production processes to enhance efficiency and maintain competitiveness.
In the age of AI, new manufacturing factory projects are going digital-first. Running real-time digital twin simulations—virtually optimizing layouts, robotics, and logistics systems years before the factory opens—is the future. See the official virtual opening of BMW Group’s new electric vehicle...
Today, most of the AI in the manufacturing industry is used for measurement, nondestructive testing (NDT), and other processes. AI is assisting in the design of products, but fabrication is still in the early stages of AI adoption. Machine tools remain relatively dumb. Automated shop tooling i...
AI can be used in manufacturing to improve customer experience in various ways. Gain insights into customer behavior and trends: AI enables manufacturers to analyze data from various sources, such as social media, surveys, reviews, and feedback. This way, you can better ...
Robotics has been used in manufacturing for years, but before the introduction of AI, calibration and reprogramming had to be done manually—and typically only after something broke down. By using AI—often in the form of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors—manufacturers have been able to greatly...
2. Artificial intelligence in use Artificial intelligence can have multiple applications in manufacturing, which can be generally categorized assmart production, products and services, business operations and management, supply chain, and business model decision-making.Smart production is the prima...
In this first installment, we’ll explore how the maturity of AI marks a 4IR inflection point; examine how leading manufacturers are redefining the leading edge of manufacturing with this technology; and finally, consider three types of strategic responses—to innovate,...
Performance: Percentage of maximum operation speed used But before going deep into OEE calculation, we must first understand in which phases of the manufacturing process AI can impact, so that we can relate all together. To that end, please refer toFigure 1, where OEE components are summarized...
AI is being used to power virtual assistants, personalized content and product recommendations, image generators, chatbots, self-driving cars, facial recognition systems and more. What are the types of AI? The 7 main types of artificial intelligence are: ...
AI systems are made up of software — the computer program that includes an AI model — and data, the information used to train the model. For example, to build an AI system for automated inspection in manufacturing, an AI engineer might create software that implements a deep learning algorit...
