Abstract
In the context of Industry 4.0, manufacturing systems are being upgraded to a smart level. Intelligent manufacturing takes advantage of advanced technologies, information and manufacturing to achieve flexible, intelligent and reconfigurable manufacturing processes in order to address a dynamic and global market. It allows all physical processes and information flows to be available, when and where they are needed across supply chains, multiple industries, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large companies. Smart manufacturing requires certain core technologies to activate devices or machines in order to vary their behaviors in response to different situations and requirements based on past experiences and learning abilities. The technologies allow direct communication with the production, thus allowing the solution and adaptation of problems and decisions that must be taken in a timely manner
