Revolutionizing Smart Manufacturing at CRAV.ai 2019 Conference

Smart manufacturing has the potential to redefine the existing competitive landscape and create a new set of market leaders. Companies that don’t soon adopt technologies like artificial intelligence, automation, and vision technology could quickly be left behind.

Smart Manufacturing Technologies

Companies should be constantly investing in and exploring the implementation of smart manufacturing technologies. These technologies generate data, accept data, or both, which is used for analysis. Data analysis makes production efficient, transparent, and flexible.

Some prominent technologies and solutions in smart manufacturing include:

• Artificial intelligence
• Blockchain in manufacturing
• Industrial internet of things
• Robotics

Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Robots in Manufacturing

Artificial Intelligence is not a new concept, but it has recently found new applications in manufacturing. AI only works if data is available, and only in recent years has it been possible to generate huge amounts of data with low-cost sensors, store data in low-cost systems, and process data at affordable rates.

Industrial robots have been used for decades, but in recent years, robots have become far more intelligent. Robots are connected with sensor networks throughout the shop floor. The data collected by the sensors lets robots change their actions as needed. Artificial Intelligence has been added to robotics systems, resulting in autonomous systems.

Collaborative robots are able to work alongside humans and support the work done by humans. Collaborative robots now can even watch what a human operator does, learn the task, and perform the same task with precision. Collaborative robots were only supposed to complete light work but are now capable of completing heavier jobs that were at one time only performed by industrial robots.
