AI-Powered Data Engineering Frameworks for Smart Manufacturing Quality Control presents an evidence-based, formal analysis of AI methods, data pipelines, and governance to improve defect detection and process reliability in smart manufacturing quality control. The contributions cover data engineering prerequisites—including data sources, quality requirements, acquisition approaches, ingestion methods, latency considerations, and integration—together with key decision-supporting AI techniques, a comprehensive system architecture for end-to-end quality control, and high-level data governance requirements.
Exploiting artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance manufacturer-automated quality control processes enables self-driving factories with reduced defect rates. AI methods are implemented for defect detection, correlation, and root-cause forecasting, closing the gaps between Machine Learning, Big Data, and IoT. Data quality proves decisive for these operations, raising specialized Data Engineering requirements across the entire analytical pipeline and including Quality Control Data Engineering-as-a-Service. By framing the analysis within the broader context of smart factory data engineering, a comprehensive set of Quality Control data quality requirements emerges and combinations of supervised, unsupervised, and time series methods are explored to tackle both defect detection and repair procedure prediction.
