Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in high-tech manufacturing, particularly in the areas of quality control and process optimization. This review explores the applications, challenges, and future trends of AI in critical aspects of manufacturing. The introduction provides an overview of AI and its relevance to quality control and process optimization, highlighting the importance of these functions in the manufacturing industry. The review then delves into various AI technologies commonly employed in manufacturing, such as machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. The evolution of AI applications in manufacturing is also discussed, showing the progression from basic automation to sophisticated intelligent systems. This study further examines specific applications of AI in quality control, including visual inspection systems, predictive maintenance, acoustic analysis for defect detection, and real-time monitoring and anomaly detection. In the realm of process optimization, this review explores AI-driven demand forecasting, inventory management, reinforcement learning for production scheduling, digital twins for process simulation, and AI-based energy optimization. The challenges and limitations of implementing AI in manufacturing were also addressed, focusing on data quality and availability issues, concerns about the interpretability of AI models, integration with existing infrastructure, and the need for skilled personnel. The review concludes by discussing future trends and opportunities, such as advancements in AI technologies, integration with the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing, expansion into new manufacturing sectors, and the potential for fully autonomous quality control systems. Case studies of successful AI implementation in various high-tech industries are presented, highlighting the outcomes, challenges faced, and lessons learned. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the transformative potential of AI in high-tech manufacturing, emphasizing the importance of a strategic approach to implementation and continuous improvement.
