Industrial Innovation Post Digitalisation

Envisioning a foreseeable “post digitalisation” era in industrial innovation, we identify massive potential in the miniaturization and autonomisation of seamlessly embedded AI technologies towards a ground breaking, rigorous and ubiquitous “cognification” of industrial systems. Current trends include the deployment of AI technology in industry, involving centralized, edge and cloud-based back-end AI, with very complex algorithmic machine learning strategies, massive computational effort for model training and inference and intricate generation and handling of huge data sets. Our research, in contrast, aims for a radically miniaturized, radically dispersed, federated, resource- efficient, low power, low algorithmic complexity, live, online, human brain inspired, real-time AI that operates on- device, and reliably even in harsh environments. We attempt for autonomic ondevice AI, and its amplification to collective on-multiple-device AI. Thus we address (i) the miniaturization of AI systems (hardware, algorithms, methods), (ii) the orchestration of dispersed AIs, (iii) the opportunistic self-organization of limited resource ensemble AIs, (iv) reinforcement-, federated- and transfer-learning models and methods to operate embedded AIs, as well as (iv) the mapping of all the related findings into the cognification of products and production systems of the future.

The Resilient Operator 5.0: Human Operators' Resilience and Human-Machine Systems’ Resilience in Industry 5.0

This keynote introduces “The Resilient Operator 5.0” concept in the quest of designing and developing better human and human-machine systems that combine the unique capabilities of humans and machines towards smarter and more resilient manufacturing systems. It aims to reflect on the system-resilience of a manufacturing system as a whole as well as of its human-machine (work cell) systems, which are as good as the resilience of its weakest sub-system, which in many cases may be the human system due to its inherent human fragility. Hence, when engineering smart resilient manufacturing systems with an Industry 5.0 vision, a human-centric perspective should be taken into account to address human operators’ resilience as individual agents as well as cooperative agents within the existing human-machine systems of a manufacturing system.

Perspectives on Industry 4.0/5.0 and Smart Manufacturing

Industry 4.0 has become a globally adopted term in the past decade. Many countries have introduced similar strategic initiatives, and a considerable research effort has been spent on developing and implementing some of the Industry 4.0 technologies. At the ten-year mark of the introduction of Industry 4.0, the European Commission announced Industry 5.0 in January 2021. Industry 4.0 is considered to be technology-push, whereas Industry 5.0 is more value-driven. The co-existence of two Industrial Revolutions invites questions and demands discussions. On the other hand, smart manufacturing closely relates to both Industry 4.0 and 5.0. It depends on the timely acquisition, distribution, and utilisation of data/information from machines on manufacturing shop floors. For the sake of the audience with diverse background, the following topics will be covered in this talk: (1) current status and movements towards smart manufacturing, (2) latest advancement and future opportunities in smart manufacturing, and (3) showcases of relevant applications along the direction. Finally, challenges and future trends will be identified and highlighted.

LIST OF SPECIAL SESSIONS

R&D Projects Dissemination Event @ISM 2022

The ISM 2022 Organization Committee has embraced the vision to make the conference the perfect environment for knowledge exchange and dissemination. In particular, dissemination activities (integrated with communication and exploitation) are essential for the impact and success of R&D projects. Funding bodies (e.g. the EU commission) usually request partners to organize midterm and final dissemination events in order to broadly disseminate the outputs of the project. 

With this in mind, ISM 2022 is organizing this special “R&D Projects Dissemination Event” dedicated to oral presentations of ongoing or final results of R&D projects in all the areas related to the conference topics.

This special event will represent a unique platform for companies, research bodies and universities to:

  • disseminate their project progress and results to the relevant scientific communities, potential investors, stakeholders, regulatory bodies, potential users, and lay audience;
  • find other R&D project partnership opportunities with other speakers or people of the audience.

Tentative presenters should submit the form below by October 1st, 2022. An advisory board will assess the submitted summary in terms of adherence to the topics of the Conference. The presenter will be notified about the acceptance for presentation. Please, note that the submitted summaries will not undergo through a technical/scientific peer-review process; hence, project summaries and presentations will NOT be included in the conference proceedings.

We have limited slots for presentations, therefore be sure to book your opportunity as soon as possible!
