The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Industry 4.0
This article presents a brief overview of the effect of new technologies, how they are changing the manufacturing process, and how the machines are starting to get a lot smarter thanks to the artificial intelligence. The focus is over the examination of Industry 4.0 and how it revolutionized the whole manufacturing segment and what promise of a better, more efficient future it brings. This analysis focuses primarily on how artificial intelligence is integrated, what benefits it brings, and how big of an improvement it is over basic programming. Part of the research is based on 771 publications tracked over the past three to five years. Publications are within some of the well-known databases Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE. We will examine the basic use case scenarios where AI is crucially needed and how a new generation of the factory can look and feel like a living human being. Keywords: Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, predictive maintenance, industrial robotics, computer vision.
