Manufacturers are demanding ever-greater precision, accuracy, and reliability from industrial automation. Fortunately, sensors, robot arms, grippers, and the software to connect and guide them have become increasingly capable. In response to the labor and supply chain challenges of the past few years, as well as the demands for personalization and rapid fulfillment, many factories and other facilities are looking to adopt robots or add them to their operations. In this Special Focus Issue, we look at how AI and machine learning are enabling more precise picking, among other applications.

Developing products for an increasingly complex world certainly challenges or even exceeds engineering capabilities. Many factors impact complexity such as connectivity, security, safety, product variants, development velocity, reliability and quality,Many argue tha the major driver to better manage this complexity is the engineering paradigm of Industry 4.0.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can enable a new era in the digital transformation journey, offering tremendous potential to transform industries for greater efficiency, sustainability and workforce engagement. Even though the impact of AI applications in manufacturing and value chains is known, the full opportunity from their deployment is still to be uncovered due to a number of organizational and technical roadblocks. Recognizing this need, the World Economic Forum’s Platform for Shaping the Future of Advanced Manufacturing and Value Chains and Platform for Shaping the Future of Technology Governance: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, together with the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Türkiye, convened industry, technology and academic experts to shed light on these challenges and propose a step-by-step approach to overcome them.

Today’s advanced tooling manufacturers want to design and iterate faster, speed up production times, assure yield quality, and improve the durability and performance of their inserts. Achieving all this, and more, is mission critical to the needs of customers in the aerospace, energy, automotive, and other industries for whom the rapid and repeatable production of high-quality cast parts is essential. Until now the limitations of conventional 3D metal printers made it difficult for tooling manufacturers to harness the full potential of additive manufacturing (AM) and advanced tooling manufacturing processes. But no more.
