Artificial intelligence is beginning to extend industrial automation by helping manufacturers interpret data, identify patterns and support decisions across increasingly complex operations. This edition examines practical applications of AI in manufacturing, including visual inspection, predictive maintenance, process optimization, planning and energy management.
