Guest Editorial: Advanced Intelligent Manufacturing System: Theory, Algorithms, and Industrial Applications

Intelligent manufacturing has promoted the development of Industry 4.0 and enabled industry to gradually move into stage intelligence with rapid Internet Things Industrial Internet. An intelligent system is a that can automatically adapt changing environments varying process requirements minimal supervision assistance from operators. Therefore, become recognized core high technology enhance overall competitiveness industry. The goal make production resources form circular network characteristics autonomy, adjustability, configurability, develop processes flexibly, realize efficiency individual customization. For example, by analyzing factory floor data, equipment monitored enterprise database, it could help store, explore, complex decisions for system. To achieve this goal, modern information technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big cloud computing, mobile Internet, modeling, control, optimization need be integrated collaborated physical process, which triggers new theory, solution algorithms, application scenarios.
