This standard establishes a foundational framework for Manufacturing Physical Artificial Intelligence (Manufacturing AX) systems operating at the interface of digital Artificial Intelligence (AI) and physical industrial environments. The scope is limited to providing a consistent basis for the entire lifecycle of Physical AI implementation through the following: - General taxonomy and vocabulary establish a standardized terminology for Physical AI components, including sensing, cognition, decision-making, and actuation within manufacturing contexts. - Functional requirements define high-level requirements for AI systems to help ensure reliability and precision under industrial constraints (e.g., environmental interference like vibration/dust). - Core operational requirements set the baseline for secure data governance and human-system interaction, helping to ensure that AI-driven physical operations align with existing safety and industrial security standards. - Reference use cases document diverse application scenarios–such as autonomous process optimization, predictive maintenance with physical feedback, and machine-to-machine collaboration–to guide standardized implementation.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
