The rapid development of AI has made the automation industry seek to solve discrete manufacturing problems, such as quality improvement, defect detection, parameter optimization, and predictive maintenance. However, discrete manufacturing needs to be considered for real-time, interpretability, and robustness. Its software and hardware architecture design, data acquisition and processing, information modeling and transmission, integration of physics-based and data-driven modeling, Human-in-the Loop, test verification, etc. Combined with specific scenarios, the problems and solutions are analyzed, and ideas are given for the application of industrial AI in discrete machines.
