A vision of industry 4 0 from an artificial intelligence point of view
During the first years of the so called fourth industrial revolution, main attempts that tried to define the main ideas and tools behind this new era of manufacturing, always end up referring to the concept of smart machines that would be able to communicate with each and with the environment. In fact, the defined cyber physical systems, connected by the internet of things, take all the attention when referring to the new industry 4.0. But, nevertheless, the new industrial environment will benefit from several tools and applications that complement the real formation of a smart, embedded system that is able to perform autonomous tasks. And most of these revolutionary concepts rest in the same background theory as artificial intelligence does, where the analysis and filtration of huge amounts of incoming information from different types of sensors, assist to the interpretation and suggestion of the most recommended course of action. For that reason, artificial intelligence science suit perfectly with the challenges that arise in the consolidation of the fourth industrial revolution.
