Smart Manufacturing - When Artificial Intelligence Meets the Internet of Things

Abstract

Smart manufacturing uses big data, the Internet of things (IoT) and the Internet of Services (IoS), and flexible and dynamic workforces to cope with ever-increasing demand in low-volume, high-mix production. Companies worldwide are already pivoting towards dynamic and reconfigurable production as a smarter way to build and make things. As such, this book discusses the next generation of manufacturing, which will involve the transformational convergence of intelligent machines, powerful computing and analytics, and unprecedented networking of people, products, and services.
