Smart Transducers, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Industry 4.0
This paper evaluates the possibility of implementing a production line that incorporates the strategies of Industry 4.0 into its operation system, which includes the use of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, cloud computing, and robotics to develop a smart factory. These factories have a high level of connectivity and integration of systems, allowing an effective sharing of information in real-time. Topics include the function of smart transducers in real-time management and the improvement of process interoperability through the application of the IEEE 1451 standard. This is achieved through the integration of robotics with AI to enable the adaptive and precise control of production variables, thus improving the efficiency and quality of products. The paper also discusses the issues and scenarios of using these technologies where standardization plays a major role.
