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

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 digita l 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.
