Whatever is being done by humans today, will be done by Artificial
Intelligence (AI) based systems, but at computer speed, scale and scope. AI is making
its path towards the transformation of the manufacturing industry and improving the
manufacturing processes. According to the panel of Forbes technology council
members, 13 different sectors, including the manufacturing industry will be
revolutionized by artificial intelligence. AI and robotics can transform the complicated
task into consistent along with precise solutions. With the increasing operation of the
industrial robot have drastically marked an increased deployment of AI in
manufacturing processes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely applied and is gradually
approaching in the manufacturing segment, easing the automation with learning and
error-free decision-making using learning algorithms. AI-driven systems are placing a
simpler route to the future manufacturing industry by producing a lot of benefits by
presenting innovative prospects, boosting production of goods with improving
efficiencies, by implementing general AI to make machine interaction closer to human
interaction. This technology enables the manufacturer to overcome various challenges
that have remained in the manufacturing sector such as expertise shortage, poor
decision making, problems associated with integration, and overloaded data. Hence, the
implementation of AI in the manufacturing sector allows companies to fully renovate
their procedures. It allows smart AI-robots/machines to collect and extract data,
acknowledge various patterns, learn from that patterns and adapt to new environments
through a machine or deep learning based on the complexity of tasks assigned to them.
Therefore, the deployment of AI and robots in the industry will transform the massproduction
along with the error-free decision-making capability. AI-based Robots in
Industry 4.0 can do persistent actions such as from designing the manufacturing model,
developing expertise, developing new automation solutions, eliminating human error
along with providing exceptional quality in products. With the implementation of AI,
robots will replace manpower and carry out hazardous activities. As a result, the
number of accidents will drop across all sections in the manufacturing sector.
AI & robotics technology will free the manufacturer issues related to untrained
workers. Hence, entrepreneurs can concentrate on further modernization of industries
and scaling their industry to greater heights. Apart from the numerous opportunities in
adopting emerging technologies like AI, there are some challenges too for
industrialists.The AI and robotics technology into the manufacturing industry would
necessitate a huge capital investment for startups and existing manufacturers. But the
return on investment will be high because smart machines will begin to take care of
daily activities, companies will incur a considerably lower operating cost. AI’s
proponents claim that technology is only an evolutionary form of automation, a
predictable result of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. AI may be efficient at creating
things, improving them, and making them cheaper. But there is no replacement for
human ingenuity in dealing with the unanticipated changes in tastes and demands.
