Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining momentum, and its importance for the future of work in many areas, such as medicine and banking, is continuously rising. However, insights on the effective collaboration of humans and AI are still rare. Typically, AI supports humans in decision-making by addressing human limitations. However, it may also evoke human bias, […]

Industry 4.0 can be understood as the fourth industrial revolution, heralded in through a convergence of technologies that lean heavily on continuous data gathering and artificial intelligence in a networked environment to present a new form of agile, responsive, and customizable manufacturing. Originally, the term was coined in Germany, where it is spelled as ”Industry […]

The revolution is just beginning and in no other sector artificial intelligence is having more of an impact than manufacturing. The deployment of AI and robots is particularly useful in industry as they increase product quality, production efficiency, and overall speed. For the manufacturing sector, artificial intelligence (AI) promises to be a game-changer at every […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing how society functions and is opening up new business opportunities for manufacturing companies. Access to AI tools in organizations is increasingly facilitated by the availability of big data, digitization, access to efficient and cost-effective computing capabilities, and the development of new algorithms that are increasingly within reach of non-expert users. Therefore, […]

We would love to suggest an article we came across of great interest in support to the fact that all innovations and advances must be promoted and supported by safe and reliable technologies that carry the unique value of trust ​​in the future of industry and manufacturing. Towards Industry 4.0 Due to the proliferation of […]

Manufacturing has evolved a great deal over the past century. With new, advanced technologies driving the industry forward, manufacturing is clearly going down the path of information and automation. Technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, sensors and Internet of Things, and more are fundamentally changing the way the manufacturing industry operates. With all of […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the key holder of value creation and technological leadership for the European Union (EU) in 2020s. Besides […]

As the pace of advances in artificial intelligence accelerates, mechanisms must be in place to address responsibility and transparency. Otherwise, there’s a chance it could run amok. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the heart of the future of technology. Rarely has there been a technology with more potential to benefit society. AI systems learn from […]

A quick checklist for the implementation of AI in Manufacturing Today industrial sectors, manufacturing systems, supply chains and production infrastructures are highly complex: products often consist of a large number of parts and components, and are manufactured using equally numerous and sophisticated manufacturing steps and various assembly and sub-assembly processes. In factories, interdependence and complexity […]

Trustworthy AI The application of machine learning to support the processing of large datasets holds promise in many industries, including financial services. In fact, over 60% of financial services companies have embedded at least one Artificial Intelligence (AI) capability, ranging from how they communicate with their customers via virtual assistants, to automating key workflows, and […]

The Industry 4.0 revolution and the smart factory in process industry Industry 4.0 is a name for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud and Edge Computing, and most recently Digital Twin and Cognitive Computing. Industry 4.0 creates what has […]
