Introduction to Deep Learning for Manufacturing
Before getting into the details of deep learning for manufacturing, it’s good to step back and view a brief history. Concepts, original thinking, and physical inventions have been shaping the world economy and manufacturing industry since the beginning of the modern era, i.e. early 18th century.
Ideas of economies-of-scale by the likes of Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill, the first industrial revolution and steam-powered machines, electrification of factories and the second industrial revolution, and the introduction of the assembly line method by Henry Ford are just some of the prime examples of how the search for high efficiency and enhanced productivity have always been at the heart of manufacturing.
