Industry 4.0 and Advanced Manufacturing

Abstract

The smart manufacturing revolution is continuously enabling the manufacturers to achieve their prime goal of producing more and more products with higher quality at a minimum cost. The crucial technologies driving this new era of innovation are machine learning and artificial intelligence. Paving to the advancements in the digitalization of the production and manufacturing industry and with a lot of available data, various machine learning techniques are employed in manufacturing processes. The main aim of implementing the ML techniques being to save time, cost, resources and avoid possible waste generation. This paper presents a systematic review focusing on the application of various machine learning techniques to different manufacturing processes, mainly welding (arc welding, laser welding, gas welding, ultrasonic welding, and friction stir welding), molding (injection molding, liquid composite, and blow molding) machining (turning, milling, drilling, grinding, and finishing), and forming (rolling, extrusion, drawing, incremental forming, and powder forming). Moreover, the paper also reviews the aim, purpose, objectives, and results of various researchers who have applied AI/ML techniques to a wide range of manufacturing processes and applications.
