Manufacturing

Impact of AI on Manufacturing

  

The manufacturing industry has always been open to adopting new technologies. Drones and industrial robots have been a part of the manufacturing industry since 1960s. With the adoption of AI companies can keep inventories lean and reduce the cost and experience an encouraging growth. Having said that, the manufacturing sector has to gear up for networked factories where supply chain, design team, production line, and quality control are highly integrated into an intelligent engine that provides actionable insights. AI facilitates to conquer many internal challenges that have been around in the industry: from expertise shortage to complexity in decision making, issues related to integration, and overloaded information. Making use of AI in manufacturing plants enables businesses to completely transform their proceedings.


AI and industrial automation have advanced considerably in the recent years. Development in machine learning techniques, advances in sensors and therefore, the growth of computing power has helped produce a brand new generation of robots. AI helps allows machines to gather and extract data, acknowledge patterns, learn and adapt to new things or environments through machine intelligence, learning and speech recognition. Using AI, manufacturers will be able to:


  • Create rapid, data determined decisions
  • Facilitate enhanced production outcomes
  • Advance process effectiveness
  • Minimize operational costs
  • Facilitate superior scalability
  • Facilitate  product development

AI Features on Manufacturing

Predictive Maintenance

  

Predictive maintenance allows companies to predict when machines need maintenance with high accuracy, instead of guessing or performing preventive maintenance. Predictive maintenance prevents unplanned downtime by using machine learning. Technologies such as sensors and advanced analytics embedded in manufacturing equipment enable predictive maintenance by responding to alerts and resolving machine issues. 

Automation

  

Automation will help the manufacturing industry reach a high level of accuracy and productivity, a level that is even beyond human ability. It can even work in environments that are otherwise dangerous, tedious or complicated for humans. Robotics as a service, which are expected in the future, will have capabilities like voice and image recognition that can be used to re-create complex human tasks.

Quality Checks

  

Some flaws in products are too small to be noticed with the naked eye, even if the inspector is very experienced. However, machines can be equipped with cameras many times more sensitive than our eyes – and thanks to that, detect even the smallest defects. Machine vision allows machines to “see” the products on the production line and spot any imperfections. The logical next step might be sending the pictures of said flaws to a human expert – but it’s not a must anymore, the process can be fully automated. 

Making use of Data

  

This sounds very general but in reality, there’s a whole variety of ways to use big data in manufacturing. Manufacturers collect vast amounts of data related to operations, processes, and other matters – and this data combined with advanced analytics can provide valuable insights to improve the business. Supply chain management, risk management, predictions on sales volume, product quality maintenance, prediction of recall issues – these are just some of the examples of how big data can be used to the benefit of manufacturers. This type of AI application can unlock insights that were previously unreachable.

Price Forecasts

  

To manufacture products, you first need to purchase the necessary resources, and sometimes the prices can get a little crazy. For example, if you buy stainless steel, its price is affected by a variety of factors, including the listings of Metal Exchange or the prices of other elements, some of them not listed on the metal exchange. With the rapid changes in prices, sometimes it may be hard to assess when it’s the best time to buy resources. Knowing the prices of resources is also necessary for companies to estimate the price of their product when it’s ready to leave the factory. Let’s stick to the example of stainless steel: the prices can vary, depending on the current listings of e.g. nickel or the price of ferrochrome. The system is able to provide accurate price recommendations just like in the case of dynamic pricing that’s used by e-commerce businesses where machine learning algorithms analyze historical and competitive data to always offer competitive prices and make even more profit.

Customer Service

  

In manufacturing, however, the importance of customer service is often overlooked – which is a mistake as lost customers can mean millions of dollars in lost sales. AI solutions can analyze the behaviors of customers to identify patterns and predict future outcomes. Observing actual customers’ behaviors allows companies to better answer their needs. Our solutions allow service providers to quickly identify issues and prioritize improvements. There’s a variety of ways artificial intelligence can improve customer service. 

24x7 Production

  

While humans are forced to work in 3 shifts for ensuring continuous production, while robots are capable to work for 24/7 in the production line. Businesses can be witnessed to expand in terms of production capabilities and meet the high demand of customers worldwide.

Safer Operational Environment

  

With several errors taking place on the manufacturing plant, a step towards AI means less human resource have to carry out dangerous and overly laborious work. As robots replace humans and perform normal and risky activities, the number of workplace accidents will decrease all across.

Condensed Operating Costs

  

Although, bringing AI onto the manufacturing industry would necessitate a huge capital investment, the ROI is significantly high. As intelligent machines start taking care of day-to-day-activities, businesses can enjoy considerably lower operating cost.

Boost Operation Efficiency & Increase Agility

  

Bring visibility, insight and control to global operations. Do more with less. Increase demand responsiveness. Automate manufacturing and business processes to increase agility across the value chain.

Internet of Things (IoT)

  

We all have started to use smart sensors. It is a little known fact that the IoT functionality will have a huge role in the manufacturing industry. It can track, analyze production quotas, and aggregate control rooms, the technology can also help to create models for predictive maintenance. When combined with augmented and virtual reality and analysis of customer feedback, there can be a number of meaningful insights to help towards innovation.
