Automated quality control employing machine learning with sensors collecting data and alerting during abnormal production for improvement purposes.
Data Flows
Title
Devices
Icon

Description
- Sensors to be added to monitor quality-related data
- Type of sensors driven by type of man: cameras (various); specs to monitor; etc.
Title
Connectivity
Icon

Description
- Equipment sensor data transport
- Energy availability data (e.g., steam, solar, wind, etc.)
Title
Edge Compute
Icon

Description
- It is expected that the majority will be real time-based, so direct intervention is possible
- Defective products to be separated in real-time
Title
Cloud Compute & Storage

Description
Application Logic
Description
- Install relevant sensors with focus on real-time intervention since that has the best financial impact.
- Make a list of the quality aspects in order of importance then decide what sensors are needed.
- With 5G, the amount of bandwidth needed is not a constraint. Therefore, take this into account when selecting sensors.
- Cameras should have 720P image quality.
Description
- SME and data scientists are required and will work as a team.
- It is expected that Edge will be the prime home for AI in this case.
- Ensuring that all data always goes to the Enterprise store.
Description
- Develop the AI (ML/MV) models highly interactively to get quickly to the right quality level for this job.
- Link to industry quality standards when developing these models.
Expected benefits
- Automation increases quality control sample sizes and improves accuracy of detection
- Detection allows early rectification of production workflow and therefore reduces wastage
Key value created
- Detection of quality issues in real-time for increased productivity
