Seminar Abstract

Due to the shortage of experts and volatile market change, traditional production systems have reached the challenge of their productivity. To overcome this the "Factory of the Future" is transitioning towards autonomous factory systems augmented by Advanced AI technologies such as Generative AI and Reinforcement Learning. This seminar will explore AI applications of key factory components—Man, Machine, Method, and Material—restructuring them to be more resilient, flexible, and modular. And the information of the components is utilized to various AI trainings and real-time intervention to factory system. All the manufacturing data is managed by the concept of digital threads that is the manufacturing information standardized by meta data model through the whole product life cycle. Each application case is introduced with real-world case studies from the machine tools, automotive, and semiconductor industries.
