Abstract
This study explores the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics in promoting green production within an automotive component manufacturing cluster in Chennai. The objective of the study is to utilize these technologies to enhance both production efficiency and environmental sustainability. By integrating AI and Robotics, the cluster aims to optimize production processes, reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and lower carbon emissions, while improving overall operational performance and reducing costs. The research methodology examines the impact of automation, predictive maintenance, energy-efficient production techniques, and waste reduction driven by AI systems using input, process, and output variables. Additionally, it highlights the importance of workforce training and the adoption of sustainable technologies to align with eco-friendly production goals. Findings indicate that the implementation of AI and Robotics can significantly improve resource efficiency, cut costs, and boost environmental performance, contributing to the shift toward greener manufacturing practices. To conclude, the study provides valuable insights into how automotive component manufacturers in Chennai can adopt these technologies to foster innovation, enhance competitiveness, and meet sustainability requirements, ensuring long-term success in a rapidly evolving industry.
