1. A manufacturing system, comprising:
one or more stations, each station configured to perform at least one step in a multi-step manufacturing process for a component;
a monitoring platform configured to monitor progression of the component throughout the multi-step manufacturing process; and
a control module configured to dynamically adjust processing parameters of a step of the multi-step manufacturing process to achieve a desired final quality metric for the component, the control module configured to perform operations, comprising:
receiving image data of tooling of a first station of the one or more stations;
determining, by a first machine learning model, a final quality metric for the component, based on the image data;
determining that the final quality metric is outside an acceptable range of the desired final quality metric;
based on the determining, generating an updated instruction set to be performed by at least one of the first station or a downstream station to achieve the desired final quality metric;
predicting, by a second machine learning model, an updated final quality metric for the component based on the updated instruction set; and
based on the updated final quality metric, providing the updated instruction set to at least one of a first station controller associated with the first station or a second station controller associated with the downstream station.
