Industry Automation: The Contributions of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a computer’s or a robot’s capability to execute jobs that intelligent people ordinarily achieve. Artificial intelligence permits machines to learn from their mistakes, adapt and react to new inputs, and accomplish human-like tasks. It is used in a wide range of industries, including gambling, banking, retail, commercial, and government, to name a few. AI is used in industrial automation since it is extensively used and is steadily becoming more common in manufacturing. AI-driven robots are leading the road to the future by offering a host of advantages, such as new opportunities, high manufacturing efficiency, and a good fit between machine and human engagement. Knowledge-based, automated labor is a hallmark of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Many internal industrial difficulties, ranging from a lack of expertise to sophistication in decision-making, integration of problems, and information overload, may be solved using AI. By incorporating AI into manufacturing plants, businesses can radically transform their operations. The importance of artificial intelligence in industrial automation is explained in this chapter, which begins with a brief introduction, then application landscape and production-related scenarios, and then moves on to a classification scheme with real-time examples. This chapter also covers the impact of artificial intelligence in industrial automation, followed by 26 applications of artificial intelligence examples in different industry sectors, and ends with future scope.
