Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently the leading trend in machine vision. Every major machine vision software package incorporates AI as one of its tools, and even less common software options include AI features as well.
Engineers at the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) are harnessing additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence technology to develop new ways to improve both the speed of production and the strength of titanium parts.
Xaba is on a mission to change automation from simple mechanization to a connected, intelligent ecosystem, enabling factory machines to self-program, self-optimize, and run without a single line of code
By “intelligent evolution,” I’m not talking about the simple adoption of automation and forms of machine learning, sort of a set-it-and-forget-it approach.
Manufacturing has evolved significantly with intelligent machines like robotics and automation working with humans. AI and predictive analytics help reduce equipment failures and optimize systems in real time, marking a major shift in traditional manufacturing practices toward a smarter future.
Companies are turning to robotic automation for surface finishing tasks like sanding and polishing due to labor shortages. Advancements in AI enable robots to self-program and perform complex operations autonomously.
MUNICH—The BMW Group is expanding the use of its Virtual Factory. One major application is the automated collision check, a critical step before launching new vehicle models.
HOUSTON, TX—Engineers at Rice University have developed a wire-free soft robotic arm capable of complex, real-time movements—powered and guided entirely by laser light and artificial intelligence.
Inbolt’s Guide-Now system uses 3D vision and artificial intelligence to enable a robot to locate a workpiece and adjust its path to the target in real time.
Accenture’s new report, Rethinking the Course to Manufacturing’s Future, shows that AI, automation and digital technologies will become increasingly important in manufacturing.
