Artificial intelligence can be applied to production data to improve failure prediction and maintenance planning. This means less costly maintenance for production lines. Many more applications and benefits of AI in production are possible, including more accurate demand forecasting and less material waste.
Manufacturers we represent
MiVue
MiVue is a data analytics solution that drives resource optimization. It was designed for manufacturers, by manufacturers, and gives real time condition monitoring of critical manufacturing assets.
Vanti
Vanti offers AI-based solutions that help optimize production, from detecting failures early to faster calibration and visual defect detection. It automatically maintains, monitors and optimizes the models it deploys.
Making use of the data your plant already produces
Most plants already have sensors, controllers and historians, yet much of what they record is never looked at. Condition monitoring turns vibration, temperature, current and pressure signals into an early warning that a bearing, seal or motor is on its way to failure, so maintenance can be planned instead of forced.
Quality is the other big opportunity. Cameras and models trained on production data can detect visual defects, drift in a calibration or an unusual pattern in a process before it becomes scrap. The value comes from catching small changes quickly, and from keeping the models up to date as products and materials change.
Security deserves as much attention as insight. The systems we represent are developed and operated in accordance with common industry security standards, with encrypted data sent through a secure cellular network to an IoT hub and through a VPN to the cloud data center.
