The pursuit of zero defects in manufacturing has long been a goal for industries worldwide. In recent years, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have presented an exciting opportunity to achieve this ambitious objective. This blog post delves into a scientific paper that explores the concept of Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) and the potential application of AI in the manufacturing industry.

Understanding Zero Defect Manufacturing

Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) is a paradigm that aims to eliminate defects and errors in the production process, resulting in high-quality products right from the start. The core idea behind ZDM is to prevent defects rather than detect and correct them later, thereby minimizing waste and enhancing overall efficiency.
