Abstract

This paper investigates the optimization of manufacturing processes and the implementation of Industry 4.0 principles through AI-driven engineering. Through case studies and research insights, it examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping traditional manufacturing practices, improving production efficiency, and enabling advanced automation. The study highlights the application of AI techniques such as predictive maintenance, quality control, and supply chain optimization in enhancing manufacturing operations, reducing downtime, and increasing product quality. Additionally, it discusses the integration of AI with robotics, additive manufacturing, and digital twins to create smart factories capable of self-optimization and adaptive manufacturing. The paper also addresses challenges such as workforce training, data interoperability, and cybersecurity in the adoption of AI-driven engineering solutions in manufacturing. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between manufacturers, technology providers, and policymakers to harness AI's potential in driving the next industrial revolution.
