While chatbots present a scalable alternative, conventional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems often fail to enforce protocol compliance reliably. Hence, a protocol-aware training chatbot is proposed to bridge this gap, leveraging context engineering and few-shot learning with Large Language Models (LLMs) to deliver industry-specific and protocol-compliant responses. Validated through a transportation case study, this chatbot system demonstrates robust consistency in RC protocol enforcement across 18 scenarios of varying complexity. An integrated scoring mechanism evaluates trainee performance and provides corrective feedback, enhancing learning outcomes. By providing practical and human-like experiences in RC training, this system can be adapted across industries to reduce miscommunication risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20535,"journal":{"name":"Procedia CIRP","volume":"139 ","pages":"Pages 23-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147424329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While classical optimization approaches are routinely embedded in DES workflows, quantum-enhanced optimization remains largely unexplored. With the emergence of advanced quantum computing hardware, integrating it into industrial optimization has become realistic and the potential to unlock faster, more cost-effective solutions for complex scheduling, routing, and resource allocation compared to classical methods. To broaden its adoption among domain experts without a background in quantum theory, we must offer intuitive, application-oriented software tools. Yet the ecosystem of such frameworks is vast, and guidance is lacking as to which platform or library best suits a given domain expert´s needs. In this work, we bridge the gap between DES and quantum optimization by first conducting a literature review of existing quantum application-oriented optimization frameworks. From these findings, we derive recommendations, answering which tools and platforms engineers or researchers can choose to formulate and test their DES optimization problems across multiple quantum backends. Building on our survey, we introduce a theoretical framework that integrates quantum-optimization algorithms directly into the DES optimization cycle. We then apply this framework to the benchmark sequence-dependent job-scheduling problem with setup times (SDJST), which, to the best of our knowledge, constitutes one of the first quantum-enabled simulation-optimization studies for this problem. We further validate that classical optimization approaches outperform for smaller problem sizes, whereas the quantum approach becomes increasingly promising as the problem size grows.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20535,"journal":{"name":"Procedia CIRP","volume":"139 ","pages":"Pages 66-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147425108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Complementary experimental comparisons of grain growth dynamics are conducted using electron backscatter diffraction and white-light interferometry for microstructural and topographical characterization. Results demonstrate that while thermal annealing induces moderate grain coarsening through temperature-driven GB migration and subsequent boundary reduction, plasma modification introduces a distinct transformation pathway. The localized thermal effects of plasma treatment enable directional grain growth via transient high-temperature melting-induced grain fusion, yielding more pronounced grain enlargement and significant GB density reduction.

Non-destructive evaluation via computed tomography (CT) offers a promising approach for assessing internal components, although data analysis presents significant challenges. In this study, we introduce a novel method to extract the complete 6D pose of stator windings from CT measurements. The method applies a topology-preserving thinning algorithm to reduce segmented wires to their medial axis, from which positional and curvature data are derived. Local twist about the wire’s axis is quantified by analysing image moments in orthogonal cross-sections along the winding. Validation with synthetic CT data and physical motor replicas demonstrates high precision in estimating wire positions and rotations, including intricate bending and twisting behaviours.

However, existing robotic automation typically requires expert-level programming, preventing adaptability to new tasks or product variants. This work presents a modular embodied AI agent framework that enables non-programming operators to implement and reconfigure robotic tasks through intuitive natural language (NL) commands in text or voice format. By integrating open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) and Visual Language Models (VLMs) with a Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2)-based stack, the agent translates user instructions into perception, grasp generation, and motion planning actions. The framework is evaluated in real-world experiments across four scenarios: low-level motion control, vision-guided cable grasping, visual scene feedback, and task-cycle recording with replay for scalable execution. Results show 100% command parsing accuracy for basic motions, reliable visual feedback, and 70% success in dual-cable manipulation, with failures mainly from trajectory planning or self-collisions. VLM inference latency proved highly hardware-dependent, with near real-time performance on high-end GPUs but significant slowdowns on consumer devices, highlighting deployment challenges. These findings show the potential of embodied AI agents to bridge NL interaction with robotic execution, lowering barriers to deploying adaptive, operator-friendly robotic systems in dynamic manufacturing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20535,"journal":{"name":"Procedia CIRP","volume":"139 ","pages":"Pages 59-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147425106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the mainstream design model suffers from issues such as information islands, long design cycles, and high collaboration costs, making it challenging to satisfy personalized customization demands. Thus, this paper proposes an intelligent design framework for product personalization, which includes three stages: requirement analysis, intelligent generation of solution, and assembly of system. More specifically, intelligent design based on fully automated three-dimensional model generation is implemented with large language models that adhere to natural language expressions of functional requirements, design rules, and manufacturability constraints. To ensure manufacturability, the process is divided into three stages: In the customer requirements stage, LLM extracts and integrates manufacturing constraints to ensure design feasibility. During the intelligent generation stage, LLM optimizes the design based on manufacturable processes and equipment limitations, balancing performance with manufacturability. Finally, in the assembly stage, LLM refines module interfaces, ensuring efficient integration and verifying alignment with manufacturing constraints, thus enhancing overall manufacturability. The workflow is demonstrated by designing the structure of a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) frame for different design scenarios.
