Optimization of manufacturing processes with AI & IoT

Presentation abstract: In the era of Industry 4.0, the synergy between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the factory floor from a reactive environment into a proactive, data-driven ecosystem. This presentation by Neuron Soundware explores how the integration of high-fidelity IoT sensors and advanced machine learning algorithms enables the real-time optimization of complex manufacturing processes. The core lies in acoustic emission monitoring and multisensor data fusion: by capturing and analysing the “heartbeat” of machinery, AI models can detect microscopic deviations that precede traditional failure alarms, reduce material waste, and ensure consistent product quality. The talk also highlights real-world use cases where AI-powered edge computing provides immediate, actionable intelligence and enables autonomous process adjustments.
