Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence in Reinventing the Manufacturing Sector

Abstract

AI is revolutionising industry with unprecedented efficiency and innovation. AI's promise has transformed large manufacturing organizations. This chapter covers manufacturing AI applications from optimization to process automation. Image and video recognition, prescriptive modeling, smart automation, advanced simulation, complex analytics, and more employ AI. Machine learning and deep learning apply AI to manufacturing using neural networks and algorithms. AI improves computer vision and image identification for quality control, improving product inspections. AI helps supply chain management estimate demand, optimize stocks, improve logistics, and distribute procedures. Strong cyber security and staff upskilling are needed to protect sensitive production data and smoothly move to AI-driven processes. Manufacturing's widespread AI deployment raises ethical, legal, and social challenges that researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers must solve. AI-powered manufacturers have various obstacles in maximizing efficiency, creativity, and long-term success.
