Smart manufacturing

The utilization of AI in manufacturing processes has ushered in a new era of data-driven optimization and problem-solving. AI is a pivotal cornerstone, especially in Industry 4.0 and 5.0 applications, yielding advanced technologies to guide a new era of heightened efficiency, productivity, and refined decision-making. In this capacity, AI emerges as an indispensable force driving transformative advancements within the manufacturing domain, where data-driven insights and smart automation catalyze innovation and shape the future of industrial processes. The assessment of SoA approaches in the manufacturing realm helped us identify three concrete use cases for further investigation: (1) Rare event prediction, (2) Anomaly detection using process knowledge workflow, and (3) explaining the root cause of an event through causal knowledge.
