R. Asokkumar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation, Vaddeswaram, Andhra Pradesh. His contribution covers AI-enabled smart manufacturing and emerging intelligent engineering applications.
The manufacturing industry is experiencing a profound change due to the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), robotics, digital twins, cloud and edge computing, and sophisticated data analytics.Machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, reinforcement learning, and generative AI are analysed as pivotal technologies underpinning intelligent and adaptive manufacturing ecosystems. The section emphasises the amalgamation of human intellect with AI-driven automation to establish cooperative, sustainable, and robust production frameworks. Additionally, significant obstacles concerning data security, interoperability, explainability, workforce adaption, computing demands, and ethical AI are examined. The chapter wraps up by outlining prospective avenues for AI-enhanced manufacturing systems, including collaborative intelligence, self-governing decision-making, sustainable production, and robust industrial ecosystems.
