AI-Driven Process Optimization in Smart Manufacturing Systems: Enhancing Efficiency, Maintenance, and Decision-Making through Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) has redefined the paradigms of production efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability. This paper explores the transformative impact of AI in process optimization across smart factories, highlighting how machine learning algorithms enhance decision-making, enable predictive maintenance, and streamline operations. By integrating real-time data analytics and autonomous control systems, manufacturers achieve superior productivity, reduced downtime, and minimal human error. The paper also discusses AI tools, implementation frameworks, challenges, and future trends in smart manufacturing. Illustrative tables and figures demonstrate comparative improvements and workflows achieved through AI adoption.
