Welcome to the University of Alabama
Smart Manufacturing using AI-based Revolutionary Technologies
(SMART) Center

Despite their potential, ML/AI technologies have not been integrated into the manufacturing sector at the same pace as in other fields. We believe that ML/AI are now sufficiently mature to be effectively utilized in manufacturing plants.

Our mission is to leverage collaborations among stakeholders in advanced manufacturing (bridging the gaps between academia, industry, and public sectors) to conduct and disseminate applied, pre-competitive research on AI-based technologies, methodologies, and tools that facilitate the transformation of the advanced manufacturing sector.
