AI and Robotics Activating Intelligent Manufacturing Paradigm Shift: Dynamic Welding as an Exemplary Best Practice

Abstract

Industrial Cyber Physical System, AI and Robotics in revitalizing and strengthening the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector through digitization, virtualization, network-based intelligent manufacturing systems has become an important world-wide national policy. Intelligent manufacturing is not merely automated factory, but it is an interactive links between manufacturers, end users, suppliers, with no time difference, no error for the entire value chain, under increased efficiency and flexibility at reduced cost.
To achieve the goal of mass customization, highly efficient productivity, autonomous decision and error prediction through enhanced horizontal and vertical system integration has become increased international competitiveness through sensory control (IaaS), networked platform (PaaS) and software services (SaaS).
In this talk, issues and approaches of the core spirits of industrial cyber physical system, AI and robotics activating intelligent manufacturing paradigm shift which enabling new digital economy will be addressed. Intelligent control technology are generated that can be used to offer on dynamic welding as an exemplary best practice will also be presented.
