To keep manufacturing production competitive, managers must design and manage complex collaborative and reconfigurable production systems that make maximum use of new technologies. However, this still requires much research to unleash the full benefit of digital tools for...

The manufacturing and process industry can benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. By combining human knowledge with AI capabilities, the EU-funded AI-PROFICIENT project will develop proactive control strategies to improve manufacturing processes in terms of...

Manufacturing has seen many developments over the years, and has been an essential part of most industries. Now, smart manufacturing is set to be the next step in its evolution. This allows increased competitiveness for organisations and increased support throughout the many...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly improving the automation of production in the manufacturing sector. But in order for these systems to be trusted and applicable when replacing human tasks in dynamic operation, they need to be safe and adjustable

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the software engine for the fourth industrial revolution that is changing the way we live and work. However, the complex technologies and the lack of skilled talent are barriers to progressing AI and thus increasing product quality and business...

What is artificial intelligence (AI) and how does it work? For many people, these questions are not easy to answer: this is due to the fact that many machine learning and deep learning algorithms cannot be examined after their execution. The EU-funded XMANAI project will focus on...

Europe is currently experiencing a shortage of skilled workers in sectors like textile manufacturing. The solution is effective training to upgrade the skills of new workers. However, for many companies, the costs of such training sessions are prohibitive. The EU-funded COALA...

The digitalisation of European industry with artificial intelligence (AI) tools is paving the way for Industry 4.0. In turn, AI is permeating the entire Industry 4.0 ecosystem, on the production floor and beyond. In the case of mass customisation, the ability to manufacture...

As social systems become ever more complex, advanced needs that can

AI-assisted development of Mixed-Reality (MR) training systems for physical skills in manufacturing (e.g. tool use).
