Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are rapidly evolving to address the industrial and manufacturing markets for a more reliable and sustainable future. Industrial AI has been applied to enhance performance, reduce energy consumption, optimize manufacturing and operations processes, mitigate business risk, and create more efficient products. Industrial AI can be integrated with existing digital technologies, to create a revolution in industrial intelligent solutions. Moreover, AI technologies can be effectively embedded in industrial products or business services to achieve faster service, lower cost, more reliable products, and profit. Thus, investment in industrial AI technologies and tools can save businesses lead to millions of dollars in savings.

This special issue aims to share innovative theories, practices, and approaches, and integrate digital technologies with industrial AI techniques to reveal the issues associated with AI-driven industrial applications.
