.- Part I AI in Process Level.- 1 Digital Twins of manufacturing processes under Industry 5.0.- 2 Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network based defect detection in Submerged Arc Welding processes.- 3 On the use of Generative AI to support in-line process monitoring in Zero-Defect Manufacturing.- 4 Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) process monitoring: from 3D visualization of sensor data towards anomaly detection.- 5 An explainable active learning approach for enhanced defect detection in manufacturing, etc.

This open access book reports on recent developments of artificial intelligence applications in the manufacturing industry. Gathering contributions to the second European Symposium on Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing, held on October 16, 2024, in Athens, Greece, it reports on machine learning, deep learning and generative AI models for process monitoring, optimization, and control, flexible and precise industrial robots, human-robot collaboration, data management and information technologies, digital twins, data augmentation and synthetic data. Giving a special emphasis to the integration of artificial intelligence in manufacturing systems, automation and processes, this book offers a timely and practice-oriented guide to a multidisciplinary audience of engineering researchers, system developers, AI scientists and industrial managers.

This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access Reports on AI methods for manufacturing process monitoring, optimization and control Covers advances in human-robot collaboration
