Electronics in Advanced Research Industries

Preface

Modern technologies in production systems open new approaches and concepts of industrial production. The digital Industry 4.0 upgrade provides new elements to control and manage production in all industry sectors. This upgrade allows to improve product quality, and in general the whole supply chain. The new digital technologies include hardware and software tools integrated in infrastructure oriented on the gain of digital knowledge. The fast dynamicity of the markets, the increase of the global competition between companies, and the unpredictable social and health events, imposes the need to think of a new concept of a production system based on full automatisms and self‐adaptive processes, predicting production failures and product defects. In this context, the Industry 4.0 facilities can be furthermore upscaled to an intelligent control and actuation system of the production, characterizing the new Industry 5.0 scenario. The new facilities which contribute to Industry 5.0 passage are mainly based on artificial intelligence (AI) implementations in production and information systems, accomplishing predictive maintenance, failure prediction, defect classification, efficient robotic control and actuation, design optimization, testing improvements, and in general technological advances due to the possibility to quickly process data in each production stage. This book analyzes innovative production approaches, and the integration aspects of the AI in different industrial ...
