Utilizing AIoT to enhance Digital Twin capabilities

How does AI and IoT facilitate the Digital Twin modeling? How well the Digital Twin is able to help the industries in cost reduction? Above the main topic in the discussion in the live session recently help by AIoTmission.What exactly is the Digital Twin? Imagine having an imaginary friend who's exactly like you, knows everything you know, and does everything you do—but they live in a magical world inside a computer. That's kind of what a digital twin is for things like machines or buildings! It's a virtual copy that looks and behaves just like the real thing, and it helps us understand how the real thing works and how we can make it better. So, engineers and scientists use digital twins to explore ideas, test out changes, and even predict what might happen in the real world without having to actually touch or change the real thing. It's like having a secret double that helps you understand and improve stuff without...

Reduce downtime with AIoT predictive analytic

The manufacturer's potential losses due to unplanned downtime and possible solutions to mitigate them were the central topics discussed during the live sharing session on April 12, 2024, in the "Sembang AIoT" live talk hosted by AIoTmission and Axiomtek Malaysia.Below are some of the potential losses:Production Losses: The most immediate impact is the loss of production output during the downtime period. This directly affects the ability to fulfill orders and meet customer demand, potentially leading to missed sales opportunities and dissatisfied customers.Revenue Losses: With decreased production comes reduced revenue. The longer the downtime persists, the greater the financial impact on the manufacturer's bottom line.Wasted Materials: During downtime, raw materials may sit unused or partially processed, leading to wasted resources and increased material costs.Labor Costs: Even though production may halt during downtime, labor costs often continue as employees may still need to be paid despite not actively working on production tasks.Overtime and Recovery Costs: Once production resumes, manufacturers may need to...
