New generation artificial intelligence-driven intelligent manufacturing (NGAIIM)

In order to embrace new generation artificial intelligence to upgrade manufacturing industry, we propose the concept of new generation artificial intelligence-driven intelligent manufacturing (NGAIIM), which is a new manufacturing paradigm integrating human/machine/environment/information into product lifecycle activities. First, we introduce new generation artificial intelligence. Second, we present NGAIIM connotation, NGAIIM architecture and its technology system. Then, we examine a NGAIIM use case — CASICloud. Finally, we provide suggestions for directing the NGAIIM development.
