Of any industry today, manufacturing may be the most primed to utilize an AI control system and build smart factories. AI-controlled robotics can help with mechanical assembly of complex machines but even heavy assets manufacturers including those processing crude and unrefined materials like cement, oil, steel, and chemicals are beginning to see the benefits an AI-controlled system brings their business.
For any of this to be useful, automated robotics must be trusted to be safe in times of chaos and confusion. AI coupled with 3D sensing technologies has made robots safer to work within a manufacturing setting by shutting down a bot if a human is nearby or a malfunction is detected.
