Topic
Smart manufacturing − contrary to traditional manufacturing – utilizes digital information to constantly accumulate data and update intelligent technologies. Hence: Advanced information is accessible and available at any time any place, enabling swift reactions to any changes along the value chain. As such, it is strongly connected to and benefits from advancements in the fields of IoT and Artificial Intelligence.
Efficient compilation, comprehensive connectivity, and targeted application of these data are key drivers to optimize companies’ manufacturing processes. Our speaker will include a use case with Suruga Seiki, a medium-sized company and a hidden champion as a supplier of automated high precision stages. It has digitized its whole value chain from the order button on a web browser to a tool tip of a machining center in factories overseas. It is a unique case that makes the most of deep learning technology in automated inspection and process design.
