Industrial AI

Businesses are increasingly adopting technology to stay ahead in the race. The world has brought us to a critical spot where you should either embrace artificial intelligence and its applications or accept the fall. Artificial intelligence, by which computers are programmed to mimic intelligent learning behavior, is finding solutions for many real-time issues. By implying such futuristic technology in industry flow is opening the door for ‘industrial AI.’ Industrial AI provides significant insights by combining data science and machine learning with the domain of expertise to deliver for purpose, industrial applications to drive sustainable business values.

What is Industrial AI and why is it important?

While some people take artificial intelligence for everything, some utterly underestimate the technology. Even though the hype is too much, AI is a technology that deserves recognition for solving real-world business problems every day. Generally, AI technology is well-known for its advancements in predicting churn, recommending products, and conducting speech and facial recognition with incredible accuracy. While taking these sophisticating into an industry
floor, industrial AI emerges. Industrial AI is focused on helping an enterprise monitor, optimize or control the behavior of the operations and systems to improve their efficiency and performance. Industrial AI works on a large amount of data with which it initially trains the algorithm. To streamline AI technology on the industry floor, business organizations should first invest in industrial digitization that gathers the primary data on industries like historical operating conditions, maintenance records, delivery reports, market conditions, etc. These data are of high value while implementing technology in business operations. Once the industrial AI is trained with native data, it gets ready for deployment. The technology can be used for decision-making purposes. Besides, industrial AI also does an extensive job of finding connections between seemingly disparate pieces of information. This can help predict machinery failure, valve blowout, etc. It can incorporate market information to optimize the value chain based on
evolving processes on inputs and outputs.

Applications of Industrial AI

Automated optical inspection

While routine inspections and assurance are common traits in industries, a report shows that around 20.5% of business organizations use industrial AI to address the concern. Even though a lot of AI-based quality assurance techniques prevail, automated optical inspection stands out. Automated optical inspection is a technique where a camera autonomously scans the device under test for catastrophic failure and quality defects.

Supply chain management

Supply chain is a pivotal aspect of industries. Besides from performing well in manufacturing and addressing customers’ needs, AI technology is also used to patch the gap in supply chain.  Industrial AI is gaining momentum across supply chain management operations. With the help of disruptive trends like machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and speech recognition, supply chain management gets even smarter.

Design customization

For many years, people were like sheep following one after another. They were unaware of their needs. But with technology taking center stage, people’s preferences are also evolving. Business organizations are also accepting behavioral changes of consumers and produce products based on their needs. Henceforth, personalization is taking over the permutation of the product. This allows customers to purchase products based on preference metrics rather than their design.
