Computer Vision: Understanding its importance to the Industry
Intro Computer vision is one of the subfields of what we know as Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to advances in hardware and computing resources, this technique is widely used today. Computer vision is the ability of machines to "see" and make decisions about what they have seen. In this post, we will talk about the main concepts involving this technology that has been increasingly present in our daily lives. What is Machine Vision The field of study and development of computer vision aims to develop algorithms that are able to process visual data, similar to humans, and transform this [...]
The active role of AI in industries’ future
Artificial intelligence has transformed the world through its application for different purposes around the globe. The recurrent use and interest in this technique have led to several developments that rapidly transformed the industrial operating environment through advances in computational techniques. Since 2020 we can notice an accelerated movement of digitalization driven by digital transformation and concepts previously presented in industry 4.0. The technologies developed in these periods and their fast emergence have provided enough visibility for broad application in complex tasks among production processes and industrial operations. The trend is that, in the coming years, the application [...]
Data Contextualization – Make data do more!
Introduction Since Industry 4.0, companies have been implementing digital technologies to digitize their operations based on cyber-physical models. Ten years after the beginning of the transformation generated by Industry 4.0, these companies are often struggling with the difficulty of generating value through the use of the data generated in their operations. We can say that we are no longer in an age of data, but in an age in which it is necessary to understand, organize, and qualify this data in order to effectively generate value. In this article, we will address some of the main [...]
What is a Data Lake?
Since the digital transformation, many data have begun to be gathered in the midst of industrial processes and operations. Technologies such as machine learning, big data, and cloud computing are some of the tools developed in this period in order to handle this data so that it can become useful. Within this scenario, a new concept of storage starts to be discussed. In this text we will address what are the main characteristics, definitions, and benefits of a Data Lake, and what opportunities this concept creates for data scientists who want to extract maximum value from data. What [...]
How you are going to become a reference through Digital Twin
Industries are currently experiencing a strong moment of disruption and digitalization in their operations as a result of digital transformation. The technologies emerging after Industry 4.0 have not only revolutionized the industry, but also brought to the fore a question frequently asked among managers: Which technologies do I really need? And the answer to that question can be quite surprising! Industries & Digital Transformation Hundreds of technologies that promised to revolutionize industrial operations have become popular and have made their way into the sector generating an ever-growing amount of data. However, having digital technologies in the midst [...]
How smart industries will be
Can you imagine what the industries will be like 10 years from now? The concept of industry of the future or smart industries describes the application of different combinations of modern technologies to create a hyperflexible and self-adaptive operating and manufacturing capability. Smart factories are an opportunity to create new forms of efficiency and flexibility by connecting different processes and information flows. Some technologies are essential to this concept. Let's address the top 3 below. IoT - (Internet of Things) The Internet of Things is the ability of devices to communicate with each other without human [...]
Artificial Intelligence as a data-driven approach to Industries problem solving
Artificial intelligence is one of the main tools of digital transformation. It is from this rich technique that industries have the opportunity to optimize their operation based on data. The use of artificial intelligence is spreading within industrial processes and operations, however, the use of this technique has been becoming even more relevant to prevent accidents, failures and reduce carbon emissions in industries. Artificial intelligence algorithms are capable of extracting, processing, and storing large amounts of data. A sub-area of development within artificial intelligence called Machine Learning has enabled industries to extract valuable knowledge from this [...]
The relation between Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation
Artificial intelligence is one of the most important modern technologies and it is through its development that many tasks gain new possibilities for automation and execution. The concept was first proposed by John McCarthy at an expert meeting at Dartmouth College in 1956. Until then, artificial intelligence was used only for laboratory research and the use of giant machines that performed basic activities based on arithmetic calculations for performing simple operations. Only a few decades later, the application of artificial intelligence began to be executed in the industrial market, mainly due to the improvement in the [...]
How data contextualization has been assisting asset management
Asset management brings together some good practices that should be used by organizations in order to optimize their processes and control in order to achieve a desirable result and performance, ensuring the safety of operators and integration between different industrial disciplines. From the revolutionary concepts of industry 4.0 and the application of technology in the midst of production processes, asset management has been driven by technologies capable of extracting, processing, and storing gigantic amounts of data. A common industry can easily surpass the number of 500,000 assets, which must be monitored in order to guarantee the [...]
The power of Big Data and Digital Twin
Digital transformation has been a period of many changes for industries with the rise of many innovative technologies that are daily implemented within production processes and operations. However, it is from a knowledge area called Big Data that these technologies have their potential highlighted The use of Big Data aligned with technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things), Digital Twin, and Artificial Intelligence, has provided the generation of valuable knowledge through the efficient interpretation of huge amounts of data. It is through Big Data techniques that industries can use all available data to identify possible bottlenecks, improvements [...]
