Webinar 2: AI-based intelligent and reconfigurable manufacturing systems
On this page, you'll find the info regarding the second webinar in the "How can AI leverage smart manufacturing?" series. This takes place on Thursday, 6 May 2021.
In current production shop floors, (fleet of) production machines and AGVs form a full manufacturing system with a high degree of automation. These current manufacturing systems need to deal with high variability of products and production tasks. Every task, however, requires a proper reconfiguration & control that is often done manually requiring complex settings and long configuration time. AI techniques can be used to make the reconfiguration of these systems to deal with a new task more intuitive and faster.
In this webinar we will present two cases that will make manufacturing systems more intelligent: one case where data is used from other machines to quickly configure new machines, and a second case where an industrial vehicle is controlled through speech linked with image recognition. In both cases an important constraint is to learn the task at hand with as little customized data as possible.
