Applications of AI in industry

Let's explore how AI is being applied in areas such as manufacturing facilities, quality control and inspection, and predictive maintenance.

AI in factories

AI can enable the digital transformation of manufacturing and factories in many ways. Applications of AI increase productivity in the manufacturing process, improve the quality of products, optimize the use of warehouses, and allow predictive maintenance for many functions in the factory. A sensor is the first key enabling component for AI implementation in a factory. Data can also be available from Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), SCADA systems that monitor and control processes/equipment, quality monitoring systems, alarm systems, and even Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. There is a wide array of sensors available to collect data at every stage of production in the factory. These sensors can measure many important parameters, such as temperature, vibration, acoustic...
