AI in Manufacturing: Current-day Status, and viewpoints, and Expectations

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has been present since the onset of the 21st century has advanced quickly, because of bioevolution and human natural intelligence. These have been many instances of effective AI applications, and the fourth industrial revolution offers an idea platform for manufacturing-related AI research and development. The development and scheduling of production systems, process modelling and optimization, control of quality, maintenance, automated assembly, and disassembling are only a few of the manufacturing utilizes of AI that have been discussed in this study. A brief overview of major manufacturing difficulties and their associated AI solutions are given as well, in addition to an outlook about further research toward leveraging AI toward smart the manufacturing process.
