Title: Digital Transformation using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning in the Electronics Manufacturing
Abstract: Manufacturing has evolved and become more automated, computerized, and complicated. The manufacturing industry aims to improve competitiveness by convergence with cutting-edge information and communication techniques to produce a high-quality product at minimum cost and secure a new growth engine. Due to the cross-functional nature in the manufacturing firms, enhancement of production planning and control functions can lead to the global improvement of manufacturing systems.
Data has recently become a valuable resource, and it is becoming cheaper and more accessible than ever to collect and store along with the rapid development in computing and sensing systems. Such capability can make Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) approach an appealing solution to tackle manufacturing challenges.
Along with technical advances toward Industry 4.0, we develop smart manufacturing platforms by adapting advanced AI/ML techniques by accompanying mathematical optimization to enhance the manufacturing industry's production capabilities and qualities.
Notably, in this talk, we address the current problems in the manufacturing industry and demonstrate the applications of our smart manufacturing platforms in electronics manufacturing, including closed-loop qualify control system with dynamic parameter optimization and surrogate modeling based on AI/ML. Specifically, we present data collection/process strategy, experimental design, data-driven approaches based on the advanced AI/ML techniques and mathematical optimization, and validation/verification of the outcomes. Eventually, we will provide examples of how smart manufacturing technologies can be used to monetize manufacturing data.
