Artificial intelligence has tremendous potential for revolution in manufacturing. Advanced technologies based on artificial intelligence have made this field more efficient and reliable. Despite artificial intelligence, we see factories in which different parts are optimized and mechanized by artificial intelligence. We are now increasingly witnessing the smartening of this field, which has ultimately led to faster, higher-quality, and more cost-effective production of products.
Automation AI provides components such as arrangements, material handling, and packaging, and despite its many advantages, its market value is expected to increase exponentially in the future. By using industrial robots, we will see huge cost savings, and automation will replace millions of full-time employees. This technology has been applied in many countries and has reduced the cost of hiring and employing human resources by one third.
Smart factories are factories where data collected from the supply chain, design team, production lines and quality control come together to form an intelligent and integrated production engine. The market value of smart factories is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Today, scientists working in the field of artificial intelligence have been able to reduce the shutdown time of the factory by 20% with the help of technologies based on artificial intelligence.
Today, some factories use intelligent software that receives product order information from customers, then sends this information to the design team, which uses 3D printing to complete a piece in a matter of hours, whereas before completing a piece. It takes days and weeks. The designed part is then sent to one of the production lines, where intelligent robots control each production process by sensors.
Artificial intelligence is used in the industrial and manufacturing fields to make instantaneous decisions about the production process. For example, if in a factory, the sensors detect a defect, the collected data about the defect enters the computer, then the computer removes the defective part from the production line and orders a replacement. As a result, it saves on the costs of manufacturers repairing, returning, and ordering products.
Supply chain management, like other sectors, seeks to take advantage of the myriad benefits of artificial intelligence. Improving the performance and efficiency of the supply chain is very important for companies. They have used artificial intelligence to create digital transformation in their supply chain management and have seen increased operational efficiency and competitive advantage. Given the huge amount of data that is generated in the supply chain, it is very useful to be able to use this data to have a better and more efficient performance.
