AI in closed-loop manufacturing can benefit edge computing systems: 4 things to consider in IIoT

Closed-loop manufacturing is central to Manufacturing 4.0 automation, but it's also been in place on production floors for years. But can it be automated to work with little or no human intervention? A closed-loop system on a production floor is a set of machines utilized in manufacturing that communicate and coordinate with each other to get certain processes done. The only catch is when something goes wrong and an alert is issued. At that point, a human has to step in to resolve the issue.
