About Guest Lecture
The lecture on “Recent Trends in Automation towards Smart Manufacturing” highlights the rapid transformation of traditional manufacturing systems into intelligent, interconnected, and data-driven ecosystems. Over the past decade, automation has evolved from isolated, programmable control systems to highly integrated environments enabled by digital technologies and real-time analytics. A key trend discussed is the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), where machines, sensors, and devices are interconnected to collect and exchange data continuously. This connectivity enables enhanced visibility of operations, predictive maintenance, and improved asset utilization. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) further strengthens automation by enabling systems to learn from historical data, optimize processes, and support autonomous decision-making.
