The Evolution of Quality Engineering to Industrial Intelligence: from Industrial Informatics to Intelligent Decisions
Fugee Tsung (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)
Abstract
Despite the rapid rise of Generative AI, 95% of industrial pilots fail. This keynote addresses this challenge by exploring the critical transition from quality engineering to industrial intelligence, from traditional industrial informatics to intelligence-driven decision-making. Drawing on cutting-edge research from HKUST's Quality Lab and Triple-I Institute, we will examine the practical applications and engineering limitations of Industrial AI, highlighting advancements in anomaly detection, multi-modal analytics, and physics-informed models. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to ground AI in industrial reality, build essential safety guardrails, and drive high-value transformations, ultimately challenging them to define their role in the future of intelligent industrial ecosystems.
