‘ Industry 4.0 ’ approach , we need to show how the factory can solve real-world manufacturing problems ,” says Marco Hüster , Business Lead AI Implementation at KIST Europe . In manufacturing , the smallest deviation from the expected weight can signify a fault in either the component , product or production line machinery . As a result , the three companies combined existing SmartFactory technology , data science solutions and a data set of 1,000 real world measurements with machine learning technology to produce a model that can now predict with 98.1 % reliable measurement accuracy .
“ Weight measurement is a very simple example , but it proves that integrating AI and smart factory technology can have a genuine impact on productionline efficiency and quality management ,” comments Dr . Jongwoon Hwang , Group Leader , KIST Europe . “ With IBM ’ s help , we are showing the industry how decentralized AI can help to deliver greater flexibility , optimize process management and predict the performance of production resources . As we continue to move towards a fourth industrial revolution , these capabilities will help pioneering manufacturers transform the industry and create new value for themselves and their customers .”
