Ambient intelligence (AmI) is a future vision in which an environment supports the people inhabiting it in an unobtrusive, interconnected, adaptable, dynamic, embedded, and intelligent way. In the past, most AmI research has been conducted by experts with backgrounds in information engineering, electrical engineering, information management, and medicine, rather than in industrial engineering. In addition, there are also a number of companies in Taiwan that are making products to support ambient intelligence. It is well-known that industrial engineers are the doctor of factories, so industrial engineers are also important to the AmI industry. Based on these reasons, this study discusses the applications of industrial engineering concepts and techniques to AmI.
