Speech Title: AI for Next-Generation Manufacturing

Abstract: Manufacturing endeavors, in a continuously pursuit of productivity and quality, are often challenged by unexpected complexities in the production systems. These are the occasions when traditional manufacturing paradigms underperform due to human operator’s limitations on handling uncertainties, complexities, big data volume, and time urgencies. The recent advance of AI technology is strategically positioned to deliver superior performance over traditional manufacturing by virtue of autonomous analyzing, learning, prediction, and decision making so as to apprehend uncertainties and complexities, and enhance quality, cost, and efficiency. Unlike traditional manufacturing, AI-driven manufacturing systems store and analyze large volume of phenomenological observations to propel higher productivity and cut time-to-market. This presentation is to provide a longitudinal perspective on various aspects of recent achievements in the utilization of design, scheduling, maintenance, and control. Concepts, requirements, applications, and methodologies are elaborated along with their limitations and pitfalls. It also presents futuristic views on the nature of AI technology and how it can further thrust the competitiveness of next-generation factories.
