摘要

As an important industry in the construction field, the ceramic tile manufacturing sector faces different challenges to achieve enhanced operational performance and environmental sustainability. These challenges include, for instance, its high energy intensity, the quality standards requirements, the materials traceability, and the upcycling considerations at the end-of-life. The current research explores bio-intelligent production concepts to enhance ceramic tile manufacturing through natural systems, which adapt and self-regulate while maintaining the efficient usage of resources. Using a systematic literature review, this research highlights the potential bio-intelligent concepts that show promise for various manufacturing tasks in ceramic production, while determining which production stages require these principles. The research identifies promising applications which include biological homeostasis-inspired adaptive control systems, swarm behavior-based optimization methods, self-organizing production systems, and bio-inspired quality inspection systems. These principles have the potential to be implemented throughout different manufacturing stages, starting from raw material processing until the completion of firing and quality assessment. This study is conceptual and prospective. The identified applications represent theoretical possibilities rather than validated implementations, and it provides vital information which will guide future experimental studies and industrial uses in ceramic tile manufacturing.
