Higher operational costs due to lower levels of automation

Sequence Number 4 Industry Manufacturing Banner Higher operational costs due to lower levels of automation How 5G enabled

Maximise usage of 5G-enabled robotics in various parts within manufacturing lines, data collection for remote monitoring, maintenance, etc.

Data Flows
Title Devices Icon Devices Description
  • Sensors supporting critical business workflows impacted
  • Sensors: fixed/robotics/drones
  • Different types of sensors
Title Connectivity Icon Connectivity Description
  • Imagery and time series data transport
  • Asset maintenance data
  • Other data types
Title Edge Compute Icon Edge Compute Description
  • Real-time decision impact made at the Edge storage and compute
  • Mixture of real-time and non-real time decisions
Title Cloud Compute & Storage Icon Cloud Compute & Storage Description
  • Historical video and sensor data from multiple cameras
  • Loaded and kept in Enterprise storage
Title Applications & Services Icon Applications & Services Description
  • Machine Vision (MV) and Machine Learning (ML)
  • Different ways to inform the operator
Title Inform Decision Makers Icon Inform Decision Makers Description
  • Alarm-based reporting when damage, wrong meter readings, etc. are detected
Title Support Decision Making Icon Support Decision Making Description
  • End of process
Application Logic
Description
  • Decide in the following sequence:
  • Business workflows to be impacted
  • Data input needs
  • Sensor (camera/robotics/drones/etc.) to be installed; frequency of data flow
  • Exact location and connectivity of sensors
  • Is the response time critical? If so, then use Edge-based and if not, then Cloud-based 🡪 This trend is expected to move towards real-time decisions.
Description
  • All data loaded into Enterprise store and then offered to the AI solutions as needed.
  • AI solutions to be ML/MV-based:
  • ML: Spotting changes in behavior
  • MV: Spotting changes in appearance: Damages; Corrosion; Meter readings; Switch settings; etc.
  • Above will run on Edge (when time critical) or on cloud.
  • All data will be stored in Enterprise storage.
Description
  • Developing these ML/MV models will be interactive and will not be ready off the shelf 🡪 SME + data scientist is required for the development where SMEs are often from the enterprise.
  • All will operate automatically end-to-end.
  • Make a clear list of business workflows and implement the list step by step.
  • Cameras should have 720P image quality.
