“…The use of information and communication technologies such as IoT, machine learning and predictive analytics enable SMS to perform real-time monitoring and proactive control of the products, processes and equipment. The predictive capability of SMS makes them superior to the traditional manufacturing systems, enabling the SMS to detect product failure in real-time (He et al, 2019;Liang et al, 2019), predict the remaining useful life of the machine He et al, 2019), early process fault detection (Carvajal Soto et al, 2019) and process visualizations (Qian et al, 2019). Further, the SMS performs efficiently on the measures of warranty claims by the customers (Alqhatani et al, 2019), reduced scrap (Chauhan et al, 2019;Rajput and Singh, 2019), the defective product (Kucukogulo et al, 2018;Kang et al, 2018) and inspection errors (Kang et al, 2018;Uva et al, 2018).…”
