TITLE: "Toward Automation 5.0"

 

ABSTRACT

Nowadays various applications of Industry 4.0 have been developed and showed the benefits. However, in the arena of manufacturing, to develop an intelligent, adaptive, re-configurable, and integrated system still has a long way to go. This speech intends to challenge the disadvantages of modern automated manufacturing and brings the audience to observe the opportunity toward Automation 5.0.
 
In the era of Automation 5.0, we expect a manufacturing system is a dynamic composition of autonomous yet collaborative working units. Each working unit intelligently utilizes its capacity, continuously learns from the environment, and maintains itself in a healthy condition. The vertical and cross-sectional relations of the working units are formed by semantic networks. Hence, the manufacturing system can be driven by knowledge reasoning.
 
Automation 5.0 is foreseen because of the potential technological integration of ontological knowledge base, IoT automation, and cloud/fog/edge computing.
