ABSTRACT
Smart Manufacturing (SM) is leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) in manufacturing. SM optimises production via Smart Products, Operations, and Factories. This article defines, explains, and applies AI and IoT to SM. AI’s data-driven decision-making and IoT’s real-time data interchange improve industrial systems’ intelligence and efficiency. We study how smart factories may harmonise various technologies for real-time adaptation, predictive maintenance, quality control, and operational excellence. The report also analyses AI-IoT integration problems and suggests future research and implementation techniques.
Keywords: Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing (SM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Factories (SFs).
