Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced Industrial Engineering (AIE) is the main direction of current and future technological developments and is a strategy for European development and research. Artificial intelligence (AI) gives the opportunity to improve digital processes and automation and allows the acceleration of the innovation potential of enterprises.

It creates opportunities in the workplace, where it will enable the streamlining of processes and ensure their sustainability at all levels of the production company.

This topic seeks high-quality studies of research and development and applications in practice, focusing on the following:

  • Research and development of artificial intelligence in all areas of industry and services.
  • Application of digitization as a basis for building intelligent systems.
  • Application of artificial intelligence in the conditions of industrial practice in various production technologies.
  • Use of IoT and Industry 4.0 tools.
  • Artificial intelligence research in automation and robotization.
  • Prediction models of object and process states.
  • Machine learning and neural networks (learning optimization).
  • Cybernetics and artificial intelligence.
  • Modeling and simulation versus artificial intelligence.
  • Artificial intelligence in production, service and auxiliary processes.

This paper aims to describe a method of non-destructive testing in highly variable production using a robotic ultrasound diagnostic system. Highly variable production involves producing products of different shapes and dimensions, which requires flexible positioning and the adaptation of diagnostic technology. Typically, highly variable products are made in small batches. Implementing automation tools, including robotic systems, can meet this requirement, even in diagnostic processes that demonstrate the required quality level. This paper deals with the design, simulation, optimization, and verification of an innovative robotic ultrasound diagnostic system for non-destructive testing in highly variable production environments. The robotic positioning of the diagnosed object and the ultrasound probe achieves the automatic adaptation of the system. Robots can automatically position the ultrasound probe relative to the diagnosed object using laser distance measurements in the water environment of a diagnostic vessel. Computer processing of the data measured by the ultrasound probe enables the evaluation of data and the documentation of quality criterion fulfillment in digital form. Setting the technology parameters, monitoring the technology status, and displaying the quality control results are enabled by a human–machine interface system also described in this paper.
