Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the applications of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) within industrial systems, aiming to redefine operational efficiency, safety, and productivity. It provides a comprehensive platform to share research, discussions, and advancements in ML and AI engineering applications in enhancing the capabilities of industrial systems. We address applications in smart manufacturing, human–robot collaboration, quality engineering, safety analytics, and risk assessment. Our objective is to explore how these technologies can be applied to create intelligent systems that augment human capabilities, optimize production processes, improve worker safety, and predict system vulnerabilities, thus promoting smarter and safer industrial operations and environment.

We welcome submissions from researchers, academics, and industry practitioners, including original research, reviews, and case studies that explore the integration, challenges, and prospective developments of ML and AI in industrial settings. We look forward to your contributions and to advancing our collective understanding of how ML and AI can shape the future of industrial operations

The correct management of operations in thermoelectric plants is based on the continuous evaluation of the structural integrity of its components, among which there are elements made of stainless steel that perform water conduction functions at elevated temperatures. The working conditions generate progressive wear that must be monitored from the perspective of the microstructure of the material. When AISI 304 stainless steel is subjected to a temperature range between 450 and 850 °C, it is susceptible to intergranular corrosion. This phenomenon, known as sensitization, causes the material to lose strength and generates different patterns in its microstructure. This research analyzes three different patterns present in the microstructure of stainless steel, which manifest themselves through the following characteristics: the absence of intergranular corrosion, the presence of intergranular corrosion, and the precipitation of chromium carbides. This article shows the development of a methodology capable of recognizing the corrosion patterns generated in stainless steel with an accuracy of 98%, through the integration of a multilayer perceptron neural network and the following digital image processing methods: phase congruence and a gray-level co-occurrence matrix. In this way, an automatic procedure for the analysis of the intergranular corrosion present in AISI 304 stainless steel using artificial intelligence is proposed. Full article
