Background And Significance

The Changing Landscape of Manufacturing

Manufacturing, a cornerstone of modern society, has undergone profound changes over the years. The transition from craft production to mass manufacturing in the early 20th century marked a pivotal moment in human history, transforming the scale and efficiency of production. However, as we entered the digital age, manufacturing faced new challenges and opportunities (Saqlain et al., 2019; Yang et al., 2019). Traditional manufacturing methods, which were rigid and linear, led to high costs and limited flexibility. This was insufficient in a world where consumers demanded personalized products, higher quality, and environmental sustainability, causing manufacturers to adapt or risk obsolescence.

The Rise of Smart Manufacturing

Smart manufacturing is a response to challenges in manufacturing, integrating technologies like IoT, AI, data analytics, and automation to create a more agile, efficient, and responsive production ecosystem. The IoT network of interconnected devices and sensors collects and transmits real-time data.The IoT has empowered manufacturers with unprecedented insights into their operations, enabling them to optimize production, reduce downtime, and enhance product quality (Abuhasel & Khan, 2020; Mourtzis et al., 2021).
