Artificial Intelligence Applications in Manufacturing.
Abstract
Developments in the field of artificial intelligence hold great promise for applications in the factory of the future. However the technology, and applications are still in an early stage of emergence. The literature of the last few years has been surveyed to develop a profile of the state of this emergence. This, coupled with interviews with workers heavily involved in the application of AI, shows that within the AI family of technologies expert systems dominate current applications. The next year promises to be very active as true production expert systems begin to appear. This won't be without problems, however. Several references are recommended for initial reading in AI, and lists of products, programs, and players in the field are included. (Author)
