Quantum-Enhanced AI for Predictive Analytics in Manufacturing

The contemporary manufacturing landscape is more complicated, data-heavy and more automated than ever before, producing enormous volumes of multi-modal sensor data, production logs and maintenance records. Predictive analytics within these environments becomes essential to achieve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and optimise resource allocation; however, many classical machine learning methods struggle with high-dimensional, nonlinear, and dynamic data, resulting in suboptimal predictions and slow decision-making. To overcome these issues, the proposed research suggests a Quantum-Enhanced AI (QAI) system combining various quantum algorithms: Quantum Neural Networks (Quantum Neural Network) to recognize patterns, Quantum Supporter Vector Machines (Quantum Supporter Vector Machines) to classify, Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm) to schedule production and allocate resources, and Variational Quantum Eigensolver (Variational Quantum Eigensolver) to optimize parameters under noisy settings or conditions into a hybrid quantum-class The framework is a quantum computer based framework that encodes classical manufacturing data in the form of quantum states, using amplitude and qubit-efficient embeddings, allowing representation of high-dimensional features with the parallelism and entanglement of quantum computing. Realworld experimental validation of both turbofan engine degradation and semiconductor manufacturing sensor logs was conducted using IBM Qiskit and PennyLane to ensure reproducibility, with noise-aware training and error mitigation policies applied in simulations on NISQ-era hardware. The proposed QAI framework demonstrated higher predictive accuracy (12 to 15) than state-of-the-art hybrid quantum-classical and classical models, with superior accuracy, memorability, and F1 scores, and showed exceptional capabilities in anomaly detection, failure prediction, and optimisation. The results validate that quantum algorithms can be integrated into a predictive analytics pipeline to overcome classical computation bottlenecks, enhance robustness, and provide actionable insights for making real-time manufacturing decisions. Overall, this paper has demonstrated that quantum-assisted AI can be beneficial in intelligent manufacturing environments, laying the groundwork for expanding practical applications that bridge the gap between the promises of quantum computational power and predictive analytics in the industry.
