Intelligent Manufacturing Management Systems

INTRELLIGENT MANUFACTURING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

The book explores the latest manufacturing techniques in relation to AI and evolutionary algorithms that can monitor and control the manufacturing environment.

The concepts that pertain to the application of digital evolutionary technologies in the sphere of industrial engineering and manufacturing are presented in this book. A few chapters demonstrate stepwise discussion, case studies, structured literature review, rigorous experimentation results, and applications. Further chapters address the challenges encountered by industries in integrating these digital technologies into their operational activities, as well as the opportunities for this integration.

In addition, the reader will find:

• Systemic explanations of the unique characteristics of big data, cloud computing, and AI used for decision-making in intelligent production systems;

• Highlights of the current and highly relevant topics in manufacturing management;

• Structured presentations resolving the issues being faced by many real-world applications in a broad range of areas such as smart supply chains, knowledge management, intelligent inventory management, IoT adoption in manufacturing management, and more;

• Intelligent techniques for sustainable practices in industrial waste management.

Audience

The book will be used by researchers, industry engineers, and data scientists/AI specialists working in industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, production engineering, manufacturing engineering, and operations and supply chain management. The book will also be valuable to the service sector industry, such as logistics and those implementing smart cities.
