Machine Vision and Industrial Robotics in Manufacturing (1 ed)

This book covers the manufacturing industry's basics of machine vision and robotics. The major applicability of intelligent machines and robotics in the manufacturing sector is explored in three major areas product traceability, remote product monitoring, supply chain, logistics, and product record management. Machine Vision and Industrial Robotics in Manufacturing: Approaches, Technologies, and Applications explains advanced technologies based on artificial intelligence and the industrial Internet of Things related to smart manufacturing applications.

The book introduces the emerging machines and robotics applications that are enabling smart factory initiatives worldwide. The chapters examine labor productivity, factory device installation, and defective product detection. The authors share modern models, emerging technologies, designs, frameworks, theories, practices, and sustainable approaches to design and implement machine vision with industrial robotics. They also examine the challenging issues associated with the leveraging of technologies related to machine vision, computer vision, robotics, Internet of Things, Industrial Internet of Things technologies, Artificial Intelligence-equipped machines, applications, and automatic techniques for intelligent manufacturing systems and smart factory infrastructure in the era of Industry 4.0 manufacturing. The authors also examine the role of existing management and production solutions, their limitations, and future directions in the manufacturing industry.

This book targets a mixed audience of students, engineers, scholars, researchers, academics, and professionals who are learning, researching, and working in machine vision, artificial intelligence, the industrial Internet of Things, computer vision, and robotic technologies from different industries and economies.
