Industry 4.0: Trends in Management of Intelligent Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

Editor's NoteThe impact of information technologies is creating a new world yet not fully understood. The extent and speed of economic, life style and social changes already perceived in everyday life is hard to estimate without understanding the technological driving forces behind it. This series presents contributed volumes featuring the latest research and development in the various information engineering technologies that play a key role in this process.The range of topics, focusing primarily on communications and computing engineering include, but are not limited to, wireless networks; mobile communication; design and learning; gaming; interaction; e-health and pervasive healthcare; energy management; smart grids; internet of things; cognitive radio networks; computation; cloud computing; ubiquitous connectivity, and in mode general smart living, smart cities, Internet of Things and more. The series publishes a combination of expanded papers selected from hosted and sponsored European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) conferences that present cutting edge, global research as well as provide new perspectives on traditional related engineering fields. This content, complemented with open calls for contribution of book titles and individual chapters, together maintain Springer's and EAI's high standards of academic excellence. The audience for the books consists of researchers, industry professionals, advanced level students as well as practitioners in related fields of activity include information and communication specialists, security experts, economists, urban planners, doctors, and in general representatives in all those walks of life affected ad contributing to the information revolution.

Artificial Intelligence as a Competitive Advantage in the Manufacturing Area

“…This motherboard is part of the embedded system that will be the one that will control the different production phases, the most important sensors in manufacturing are RFID [8] (which defines the work cells) and GPS geolocation (for external logistics), To fulfill this purpose, the communication must be wireless, the ERP control system with Artificial Intelligence, would track the product in real time, thus eliminating that of working blindly.…”
