Artificial Intelligence
Understanding How CV AI Can
Impact You
To understand if CV AI could be
beneficial to your design engineering
process, you should ask yourself these
questions:
* Are the challenges faced in your design
engineering process visible by
some form of camera technology or
any spectrum that provides image or
video?
* What aspects of your operations can
image or video detections and analytics
bring value?
* What insights do you want to gain from
CV AI?
* What systems will CV AI integrate into
so that action can be taken because of
detections and analytics, i.e., machine,
MES, or ERP?
* Is there a one-off need, or can this span
across the operations?
* Does the platform empower your SMEs
to easily build their own detectors without
needing to be data scientists?
By looking at these areas of your manufacturing
process, you can gauge how
and where CV AI will be most beneficial.
What's Next
If you've decided that your design engineering
process can benefit from CV AI,
there are simple steps you can take to do to
get started with this technology and ensure
that it's a good fit for your organization:
* Consult with a CV AI platform company
that can review your interests, applications,
and goals for using CV AI.
* Consider a PoC trial to learn how the
technology can help and integrate into
your systems and operations.
* Ensure that it compliments your operations
by allowing your cross-functional
departments to build, test, deploy, and
manage pre-made and custom detectors
for their needs without needing to
be a degreed data scientist.
* Ensure suitable deployment modes for
your needs, such as Cloud (public/private),
On-prem, and edge.
* Confirm that the CV AI platform is
camera technology agnostic so that it
can work with any technology. Application
needs vary throughout operations
and different imaging technologies
and resolutions may be needed.
* Use an application that can integrate
in your current systems, i.e., PLC's,
SCADA, MES, WMS, ERP, Databases,
Security, etc.
* Partner with proven talent with a track
of deep-learning AI. Industry-leading
engineering is what is empowering the
greatest gains for manufacturers utilizing
this technology.
Industry digital transformation is making
its way into all aspects of operations
from leveraging tools that have these technologies
incorporated into them, to incorporating
the technologies into new designs.
Manufacturing is expected to grow rapidly
across many regions. The competitive advantage
will be for those that incorporate
technologies which maximize throughput
and quality. CV AI is one of the key technologies
that will be incorporated into
new designs of robotics, machines, and
production lines within the factories of
today and tomorrow. This will enable robotics
and machines with advanced visual
perception to do more faster and adapt to
changing conditions and environments.
