Integrating AI and IoT for optimal IR4.0 performance

This session of ” Sembang AIoT” talk more about the integrating IIoT and AI for optimal performance of industry 4.0 performance.

while IR4 principles lay the foundation for a connected, transparent, and autonomous industrial environment, it is the integration of AI and IoT that actualizes and optimizes these principles to achieve the full potential of Industry 4.0.
Industry 4.0 (IR4) is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, encompassing cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and cognitive computing. Here are the four main design principles of Industry 4.0:

  • Interconnection 
  • Decentralization
  • Data Transparency
  • Technical Assistant

The four fundamental design principles provide a clear framework for Industry 4.0’s goals and future direction. Interconnection and Information Transparency are intrinsically linked to the Internet of Things (IoT), emphasizing the significance of connectivity. Data collected from sensors, machines, and controllers necessitates the use of IoT devices to maintain continuous connection and facilitate real-time data transfer to the cloud. This ensures consistent and transparent data throughout various processes.

In order to speed up the inference process, one of the Entry level GPU is used to keep up with performance.

The unsupervised deep learning AI in this model do not require any intervention on the dataset that are used. Good dataset or samples are fed and with minimum work on the result that we need to achieve. We took one of the good example of Printed Circuit Board ( PCB) visual inspection process where the time required to check on the PCB takes about 45 seconds per board. But with Vision anomaly AI, It took only 2 seconds on the entire PCB with 4 to 6 cameras depending on the size of the PCB.

The picture on the left show the visual image of marked red AI spotted unwanted soldered joined and those images can be marked and stored as part of the defect listing.

Different zones of defects can be recorded for the next process of rework. 

 

Unsupervised deep learning is a subset of deep learning where models are trained without labeled data. The primary objective is to extract patterns or knowledge from the data without explicit guidance on what to look for. Here’s a breakdown of the concept:
 
Unsupervised Learning: In traditional machine learning, unsupervised learning refers to training algorithms without any labeled data. The most common applications are clustering (grouping data in categories based on their similarity) and dimensionality reduction (reducing the number of variables in a dataset while preserving its structure or distribution).
Deep Learning: Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that deals with algorithms called neural networks, particularly deep neural networks. These networks are capable of learning complex patterns from large amounts of data. “Deep” refers to the number of layers in the network; the more layers, the deeper the network. 
 
When you combine these two concepts, you get unsupervised deep learning, which involves using deep neural networks to learn from data that hasn’t been labeled. The above anomaly detection is one unique application that can be used in the industries.
