Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Embedded artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in various industrial applications to improve efficiency, productivity, and decision-making processes. This Special Issue mainly focuses on:

  1. Predictive Maintenance: AI algorithms are used to constantly monitor and analyze data from sensors embedded in machinery. This allows for the early detection of potential failures or equipment malfunctions, enabling timely maintenance and minimizing downtime.
  2. Quality Control: Embedded AI algorithms can analyze images or sensor data in real-time to identify defects or anomalies in production processes, which helps in ensuring high-quality standards are met, reducing waste, and improving customer satisfaction.
  3. Robotics and Automation: AI-powered robots and autonomous systems are increasingly being used in industrial environments. These systems can perform complex tasks, adapt to changing conditions, and learn from their experiences, leading to improved efficiency, safety, and productivity.
  4. Energy Management: AI algorithms can analyze energy consumption patterns and optimize energy usage in industrial facilities. This helps in reducing energy costs, identifying areas of inefficiency, and implementing energy-saving measures.
  5. Process Optimization: AI techniques, such as machine learning, can be used to analyze large volumes of data collected from various sensors and systems to identify bottlenecks, optimize workflows, and improve overall process efficiency.
  6. Fault Detection and Diagnosis: Embedded AI systems can analyze sensor data and patterns to detect and diagnose faults or anomalies in industrial equipment or processes. This helps in addressing issues promptly, reducing downtime, and preventing costly breakdowns.

Overall, embedded AI enables real-time decision making, automation, and optimization, leading to improved productivity, cost savings, and operational efficiency.

In the era of Industry 4.0 and 5.0, a transformative wave of softwarisation has surged. This shift towards software-centric frameworks has been a cornerstone and has highlighted the need to comprehend software applications. This research introduces a novel agent-based architecture designed to sense and predict software application metrics in industrial scenarios using AI techniques. It comprises interconnected agents that aim to enhance operational insights and decision-making processes. The forecaster component uses a random forest regressor to predict known and aggregated metrics. Further analysis demonstrates overall robust predictive capabilities. Visual representations and an error analysis underscore the forecasting accuracy and limitations. This work establishes a foundational understanding and predictive architecture for software behaviours, charting a course for future advancements in decision-making components within evolving industrial landscapes.
