1. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the manufacturing industry by enhancing efficiency, precision and adaptability in various production processes, particularly within the context of Industry 4.0.
2. AI in manufacturing extends beyond automation to support real-time decision-making. This role is part of what is often called “smart factories” or "smart manufacturing,” both synonymous with Industry 4.0. This advanced approach to production uses a combination of connected technologies, real-time data analytics and AI to create flexible, efficient and highly automated manufacturing systems.
