IoT and AI Integration: An Experiment on Smart Manufacturing Efficiency in Industry 5.0

Abstract

In line with the Industry 5.0 paradigm, this empirical research offers a data-driven investigation of the revolutionary effects of combining IoT and AI in smart manufacturing. The findings show a notable 1.52% gain in production efficiency, which is attributed to post-implementation temperature increases of 36.2°C and humidity decreases of 44.8%. A decrease in faults found (2) led to a 0.76% increase in quality scores (93.1) for quality control. With fewer maintenance hours (2.3) and downtime (52 minutes), maintenance practices were more effective. These results highlight the concrete advantages of integrating IoT and AI in smart manufacturing, putting it at the vanguard of Industry 5.0's revolutionary landscape and improving productivity, quality, and maintenance.
