Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Industry 4.0 is now underway, changing traditional manufacturing processes into smart manufacturing. Smart manufacturing is one of the main industries to make full use of artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies. Artificial intelligence is making machines smarter than before in the manufacturing industry by addressing how to build computers that improve automatically with experience. This Special Issue is open to new findings and approaches related to the current challenges and opportunities for the applications of artificial intelligence in smart manufacturing. We encourage researchers to contribute to this Special Issue, including, but not being limited to, the following subject areas:

  • Real-time monitoring with machine learning;
  • Artificial intelligence for predictive maintenance;
  • Production scheduling with reinforcement learning;
  • Artificial intelligence and robotics in smart manufacturing;

The Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) process is an accurate method for manufacturing high-added-value components for industry. Continuous developments in the process have resulted in specialized machines used in sectors such as aerospace and biomedical engineering. However, some fundamental aspects of the discharge process remain unresolved. This work aims to study the influence of discharge location and bubble expansion on the occurrence of subsequent discharges. A high-speed video camera observation system was constructed to capture images of each discharge. From the acquired images, an algorithm was devised to determine the discharge location based on grayscale analysis. Moreover, the voltage and current waveforms of the discharges and the framing signals of the high-speed video camera were then obtained using an oscilloscope. Synchronizing the observation images and signals allowed for calculating the delay time for each single discharge. The results indicate that most of the discharges occurred near the boundary of the bubble and during bubble expansion. This finding has been observed for a variety of machining conditions and can be explained by the effect of the debris particles concentrated at the bubble boundary. This study provides useful information for better understanding the discharge process in WEDM. Full article

Effective quality control is crucial in industrial manufacturing for influencing efficiency, product dependability, and customer contentment. In the constantly changing landscape of industrial production, conventional inspection methods may fall short, prompting the need for inventive approaches to enhance precision and productivity. In this study, we investigate the application of smart glasses for real-time quality inspection during assembly processes. Our key innovation involves combining smart glasses’ video feed with a server-based image recognition system, utilizing the advanced YOLOv8 model for accurate object detection. This integration seamlessly merges mixed reality (MR) with cutting-edge computer vision algorithms, offering immediate visual feedback and significantly enhancing defect detection in terms of both speed and accuracy. Carried out in a controlled environment, our research provides a thorough evaluation of the system’s functionality and identifies potential improvements. The findings highlight that MR significantly elevates the efficiency and reliability of traditional inspection methods. The synergy of MR and computer vision opens doors for future advancements in industrial quality control, paving the way for more streamlined and dependable manufacturing ecosystems. Full article
