Machine Learning in Manufacturing

Machine learning ML is a subset of artificial intelligence that uses algorithms and statistical models to parse data, identify patterns, pinpoint anomalies, and describe next steps, incorporating all it learns from the data to continually improve its output. Machine learning is playing a critical role in the digitalization of manufacturing operations towards Industry 4.0. It is one of the cornerstones for making manufacturing more intelligent, and thereby providing it with the needed capabilities towards greater flexibility and adaptability. In manufacturing, ML enhances efficiency and optimizes operations by using data analysis to improve decision making in areas like predictive maintenance, quality control, and supply chain management. This paper provides an overview of the applications of machine learning techniques in manufacturing. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Samuel A. Ajayi | Janet O.
