About the Workshop

The integration of Federated Learning (FL) into manufacturing represents a transformative approach to harnessing distributed data while preserving privacy. This special session aims to explore cutting-edge methods, applications, and challenges associated with the implementation of FL in industrial settings.

Bringing together researchers and practitioners, the session addresses topics such as collaborative model training across multiple manufacturing units, dealing with data heterogeneity, ensuring data security, and enhancing applications such as predictive maintenance with FL. Discussions will also cover the role of FL in Industry 4.0, with an emphasis on human-centric and sustainable manufacturing processes.
