Artificial Intelligence to aid in digital manufacturing
Innovation gives rise to ease and flexibility in areas such as manufacturing. In times of coronavirus pandemic, digitalisation and automation is going to play an imperative role in seamless functioning of manufacturing. With shortage of labour being one of the biggest issues in the coming times it is important to opt of other innovative solutions.
To succeed in manufacturing it requires extreme efficiency. Every step to produce parts must be optimised in order to eliminate potential errors, as well as to maximize productivity, speed and throughput. This applies to all manufacturing processes, whether filling a mold, printing a part, machining or forming sheet metal.
Digital manufacturing methods allow companies to do an end-to-end evaluation of the entire value chain and workflows before and during manufacturing. This "digital thread" runs through the operation and ties simulation, process monitoring and traceability to the physical plant. It also creates a framework for learning and process improvement rooted in artificial intelligence (AI).
