The manufacturing industry is undergoing a major transformation, shifting from automated to autonomous operations. This change promises to speed up the process of turning ideas into real, market-ready products. The key to making this happen is the integration of digital technologies, including sensors, data, computing power, and information systems.
At the heart of this shift are digital twins—virtual models that represent not just the products but also the materials, manufacturing processes, supply chains, and production lines. These digital replicas allow manufacturers to simulate, monitor, and improve operations in real-time using sensor data. By combining physical and digital worlds, digital twins help bridge the gap between designing a product and bringing it to life. When digital twins are combined with real-time control systems and machine learning, factories become smarter and more adaptive. Real-time data flows from sensors to digital models and ML algorithms, enabling predictive maintenance, reducing waste, and optimizing production. This connected ecosystem creates a highly efficient, data-driven manufacturing environment. We’ll explore real-world examples of these technologies in action and how they are shaping the future of manufacturing today.

Video can be used as the input data for the real-time monitoring of machines, products, or processes to which sensors cannot be affixed. Industrial and scientific monitoring applications, compared to other video sources, such as those from surveillance, broadcast, mobile robotics, social media, or entertainment, can often be engineered and structured. Yet, applications of video-based instrumentation in industrial, manufacturing, and scientific experimentation environments are not extensively addressed by the computer vision community.
We discuss the needs, challenges, and recent success in deploying real-time, data-science enabled techniques to efficiently reduce the complexity and dimensionality of raw video data to extract actionable information for real-time feedback and process control, defect detection, and wear and degradation related for factories and the factory subsystem.
The impetus for the SENSE.nano is the recognition that novel sensors and sensing system are bound to provide previously unimaginable insight into the condition of individuals, as well as built and natural world, to positively impact people, machines, and environment. Advances in nano-sciences and nano-technologies, pursued by many at MIT, now offer unprecedented opportunities to realize designs for, and at-scale manufacturing of, unique sensors and sensing systems, while leveraging data-science and IoT infrastructure.
From flexible hybrid electronics, to integrated photonic devices, to functional fibers to smart manufacturing, the new U.S. Federal government institutes are advancing new manufacturing technologies and accelerating the pace of manufacturing innovation. This session will review MIT's involvement in these institutes and discuss opportunities for industry partners to participate in developing new products and capabilities.
