AIOTI WG Manufacturing published a paper about AI in Manufacturing.
The integration of Artificial Intelligence in this ambit is fundamentally transforming industrial paradigms, driving the convergence of productivity objectives with regulatory compliance, sustainability imperatives, and human-centric innovation.
The transition toward Industry 5.0 represents a paradigmatic shift from pure digitalisation to human-centric manufacturing, where AI transcends its traditional role as an automation tool to become a collaborative enabler between humans and machines. The Cloud-Edge-IoT (CEI) continuum architecture serves as the technological foundation for this evolution.
Nevertheless, significant challenges remain in areas of data interoperability, cybersecurity frameworks, and AI modeling.
The emerging agentic AI paradigm promises the development of fully autonomous systems capable of sophisticated goal-oriented behaviour, complex decision-making processes, and independent task execution.
