Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing : Enabling Intelligent, Flexible and Cost-Effective Production Through AI Hardback

This open access book presents a rich set of innovative solutions for artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing.

The various chapters of the book provide a broad coverage of AI systems for state of the art flexible production lines including both cyber-physical production systems (Industry 4.0) and emerging  trustworthy and human-centered manufacturing systems (Industry 5.0).

From a technology perspective, the book addresses a wide range of AI paradigms such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, active learning, agent-based systems, explainable AI, industrial robots, and AI-based digital twins.

Emphasis is put on system architectures and technologies that foster human-AI collaboration based on trusted interactions between workers and AI systems.

From a manufacturing applications perspective, the book illustrates the deployment of these AI paradigms in a variety of use cases spanning production planning, quality control, anomaly detection, metrology, workers’ training, supply chain management, as well as various production optimization scenarios. This is an open access book.
