Beyond Automation: How Artificial Intelligence Is Entering the Factory Floor
Artificial intelligence is beginning to extend industrial automation by helping manufacturers interpret data, identify patterns and support decisions across increasingly complex operations. This edition examines practical applications of AI in manufacturing, including visual inspection, predictive maintenance, process optimization, planning and energy management. It also explores the data quality, integration, governance and human oversight required to move AI from experimentation toward dependable industrial use where reliability and operational consequences matter.
AI introduces new possibilities for manufacturing, but industrial environments demand a higher standard than novelty alone. Systems must operate within processes where reliability, safety and consistency are essential. This edition looks at artificial intelligence beyond the excitement surrounding the technology, focusing on practical applications and the operational foundations manufacturers need before AI can become a dependable part of factory decision-making.
