Artificial Intelligence In Manufacturing
This white paper entitled "Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing" reports the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in European manufacturing, and its potential to enhance competitiveness and technological leadership in the future. The paper is based on research conducted by the Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing NETwork (AIM-NET), which represents the viewpoint of the manufacturing community on the achievements and challenges of AI solutions. The document covers topics such as AI in manufacturing processes, robots, machines, and operations support in manufacturing, and AI in manufacturing systems. It also includes discussions on cross-cutting aspects such as regulation, education, systems engineering, and data augmentation. The paper also presents the maturity achieved TRL levels of existing AI-based applications in manufacturing, typical KPIs used to assess performance, and barriers and limitations to wide adoption. It also provides a roadmap for future work on AI, with efforts needed in short-term and long-term time horizons. Overall, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and future vision of AI in manufacturing for policy makers, practitioners, and researchers.

From Internal Combustion to Battery Electric Vehicles: Enabling Digital Manufacturing

whitePaper | September 12, 2022

Today’s automotive industry faces a historical shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to battery electric vehicles (BEV). This shift is profound, dramatically altering the structure of the automotive value chain and the vehicle manufacturing process. This conversion occurs as the industry undergoes a digital transformation. The ICE to BEV project builds a 2020 CAR project on digital transformation by considering the implications of a transition in propulsion technology and a digital transformation in manufacturing for the North American automotive sector.

4-step holistic manufacturing strategy for the 4th Industrial Revolution

whitePaper | September 30, 2022

Until 2020, progress towards digital transformation for most manufacturers was slow. But the urgency for manufacturers to make successful digital transformations escalated during the first 8-12 months of the global pandemic. As COVID-19 reshaped consumer buying behaviors, the pace jumped from a crawl to a sprint: According to one study, 85% of organizations accelerated their digital transformation initiatives in 2020.[1] Some industry observers believe we witnessed 6.5 years of digital progress in the last eight months of 2020 alone.

Precision and Automation in Manufacturing

whitePaper | July 25, 2022

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.

How to Get Started with Robotic Automation

whitePaper | May 11, 2022

Robotic automation is not a new concept, yet it can be difficult to fully grasp its complexity and overcome its barriers to entry. Which integrator is the best partner for this project? How do you approach your CFO with evidence that you should automate now? What tasks can you even automate? It can be difficult to make sense of all of the technical complexities and varying financial options, especially when you’re already managing other day-to-day responsibilities.
