産業メタバースと生成AIがスマート製造業に与える影響

Artificial intelligence in computing has paved the way toward new and smarter processes, enabling more accurate predictive analytics, autonomous systems, and more. Recently, more advanced AI – generative AI – which leverages machine learning algorithms has emerged, opening new doors to even smarter capabilities than before. Generative AI, developed partly from generative adversarial networks (GANs), is a type of AI that involves training two neural networks to work together to generate new data. Over the past year, generative AI has experienced a meteoric rise in popularity with the advent of AI-powered chatbots, such as ChatGPT. In manufacturing, generative AI is also becoming increasingly important in smart manufacturing solutions alongside other […]

デジタルツインが製造業メタバースの構成要素である理由

Industry 4.0 has driven significant change across the manufacturing industry in recent years. The focus on digital transformation and introducing new and modern digital capabilities have allowed manufacturers to achieve greater productivity, efficiency, and sustainability, with smart technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and big data powering these new tools. One critical tool that has emerged is digital twins. Thanks to this virtual simulation solution, manufacturers can create virtual replicas of their factories and systems in a “metaverse” and use the data in these virtual worlds to streamline operations, conduct effective research, and improve processes. But what are digital twins, and can they be considered the building blocks of the manufacturing […]
