Nanosensors for Smart Manufacturing

Nanosensors for Smart Manufacturing provides information on the fundamental design concepts and emerging applications of nanosensors in smart manufacturing processes.
Smart products are fabricated from smart materials via the intelligent manufacturing system framework. In smart production, if the products and machines are integrated, embedded, or equipped with sensors, the system can immediately collect the current operating parameters and predict the product quality, then feedback the optimal parameters to machines in the production line. In this regard, smart sensors and their wireless networks are important components of smart manufacturing.
Nanomaterials-based sensors (nanosensors) offer several advantages over their microscale counterparts, including lower power consumption, fast response time, high sensitivity, lower concentration of analytes, and smaller interaction distance between sensors and products. With the support of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, neural networks, and ambient-intelligence, sensor systems have become smarter.
This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who want to learn more how nanoscale sensors can enhance smart manufacturing techniques and processes.
