arXiv:2608. 13937v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Smart manufacturing processes are often installed with a large number of sensors, imaging devices and computers, which not only enable instant communication across various modules of a production system but also aid in intelligent manufacturing management.
The paper introduces ISP-AD, the largest publicly available industrial anomaly detection dataset, featuring both synthetic and real defects from a factory floor. It focuses on challenging, small, weakly contrasted surface defects within highly variable structured patterns, addressing the bias of existing datasets toward ideal imaging conditions. Experiments demonstrate that even a small amount of weakly labeled real defects improves model generalization and that synthetic defects can serve as a useful cold‑start baseline for scalable training.

The paper introduces FuDU, a streaming active learning framework that enhances real‑time industrial defect detection by quantifying uncertainty at both image and box levels. It employs a Prototype-based Global Uncertainty Quantification module to assess image‑level uncertainty and a Dual‑entropy defect Uncertainty Evaluator for box‑level uncertainty. By fusing these uncertainties through fuzzy inference, FuDU enables expert‑knowledge‑driven adaptive sampling, improving reliability in tasks such as nuclear fuel rod defect detection.
arXiv:2607. 21577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quality control in printing, particularly in rotogravure printing, still depends on slow, costly, and subjective manual inspection.
This paper presents the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME) 2026 Grand Challenge on Cross-Scenario Defect Detection and Fine-Grained Severity Grading for High-Precision Manufacturing. The challenge is motivated by two key limitations of existing industrial defect inspection systems: (1) current deep learning-based methods often suffer significant performance degradation when deployed in unseen production scenarios, and (2) most benchmarks neglect severity-aware assessment, which is critical for risk control and yield optimization.
arXiv:2606. 23851v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work investigates the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) for real-time monitoring in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing.
The paper presents a two‑stage multivariate monitoring framework for high‑dimensional, temporally dependent data from end‑of‑line testing in automotive manufacturing. Stage one cleans and aligns the data, while stage two applies nonlinear dimensionality reduction and a control‑chart‑based anomaly detection procedure that can operate in unsupervised or supervised modes. Applied to Ford Motor Company production data, the framework outperforms the existing model, raising accuracy from 0.50 to 0.625, recall from 0.30 to 1.00, and F1 score from 0.429 to 0.769.
