Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is globally acknowledged as innovative technology. Today, many corporations and individuals are making an effort to harness the capabilities of AI in almost all sectors viz. healthcare, education, manufacturing, smart cities, agriculture, etc. The concept of ‘Smart Factories’ and ‘Industry 4.0’ has prompted many global enterprises to use automation and intelligent robots to improve manufacturing and enhance the quality of the finished product and overall productivity. Indeed, artificial intelligence is a vital tool to augment manufacturing by facilitating the R&D, enhancing the quality, reducing the errors, and maintaining the supply chain by projecting demand forecasting and simulation of outcomes to foster higher margins in stiff competition. However, the requirement is to build an industry that should be compliant with such disruptive changes and a workforce compatible enough to create a collaborative environment for both men and technology to work productively. Thus to conduct this study, several keywords and their combinations were used and explored using Google Scholar. The relevant articles, papers, and journals obtained were examined, and data pertinent to the study were collected, examined, and aggregated. Furthermore, specific changes in the current policies and the working parameter were also suggested. In this paper, the scope of artificial intelligence and its applications in today’s manufacturing sector of India is discussed. Here, the Indian manufacturing sector’s present status is focused primarily, the limitations are identified and how they can be dealt with.
