Industrial robots have historically been designed to perform specific niche tasks, but modern-day robots can be taught new tasks and make real-time decisions. By , Cisco predicts the number will surpass 50 billion.
Connecting these machines together into intelligent automated systems in the cloud is the next major step in the evolution of manufacturing and industry. Industrials manufacturing Image Credit: Rethink Robotics 8. Amazon can luxuriously take their time to crunch your browsing and purchase history and show you new recommendations.
On a deep sea oil rig, a riser is a conduit which transports oil from subsea wells to a surface facility. If a problem arises, several clamps must respond immediately to shut the valve. The sophisticated software that manages the actuators on those clamps tracks minute details in temperature and pressure. Any mistake could mean disaster. The stakes and responsiveness are much higher for industrial applications where millions of dollars and human lives can be on the line.
Industrials manufacturing 9. Between the edge and the cloud are supervisor gateways and multiple nodes of computer storage since the entire system must be able to run the the right load at the right places. In a manufacturing facility that crushes ores into platinum bars, bars that come out with the wrong consistency must be immediately detected in order to adjust the pressure at the beginning. Any delay means wasted material. Similarly, a wind turbine is constantly ingesting data to control operations.
If an analytical system on a plane determines an engine is faulty, specialist technicians and engineers must be dispatched to remove and repair the faulty part. Simultaneously a loaner engine must be provided so the airline can keep up flight operations. According to Kodesh, the only way to ensure such high fidelity and performance 1. Industrials manufacturing When the stakes are higher, people ask questions.
Technicians who have been in the field for 45 years will not trust machines that cannot explain their predictions. To achieve this high level of interpretability, GE needs to invent completely new technologies. Unfortunately, the talent required is painfully scarce. They literally need to be rocket scientists who know how to filter and normalize millions of data points in real-time. A complex series of operations connects suppliers to manufacturers to wholesalers to retailers to you, the end consumer.
Oversight of this process is called supply chain management SCM. Within SCM, logistics is the portion that handles the movement of goods.
E-Commerce giants like Amazon specialize in logistics while consumer packaged goods leaders like Unilever provide full- spectrum supply chain management services. Both small and large enterprises are dabbling in innovations ranging from machine learning to robotics.
A breakdown in logistics breaks the supply chain, so companies constantly seek out improved ways to manage inventory, predict pricing, and streamline operations. The largest portion of C. A portion of their customers pre-commit to regular business and outsource portions or all of their logistics needs. The remainder are one-off transactions, for which the company is a surge provider for unplanned freight. Surprisingly for a transportation company, C. Robinson owns no vehicles. The supplier base is incredibly fragmented, ranging from one man with a truck to massive fleets of co-owned vehicles.
Despite these capacity challenges, CHR must commit to move freight for a customer at a specific price in advance. Other times they commit up to 2 years in advance. Price prediction is thus their biggest business challenge. Supply chain logistics Pricing was previously done by human experts with deep domain experience and historical market knowledge.
Combining financial with technical expertise, he and his team have built machine learning models for price prediction that resemble those built by automated traders on Wall Street. These models examine historical freight pricing data along with concurrent parameters such as the weather, traffic, and socio- economic challenges to estimate the fair transactional price on a spot basis.
He also adds that a key benefit of effective algorithms is democratization and accessibility of information. The second important use case is securing and managing the supplier inventory, the vast and fragmented array of trucks available to transport loads. CHR commits to a transport price for freight buyers before they know the exact pricing and availability of requisite vehicles. The company relies on strategic human relationships, specifically a vast trading network across employees to find the right truck with the right capacity for the load.
Fragile, expensive, or time- sensitive freight requires a much higher service level. Pooling together these various factors allows CHR to optimize matching freight to the best mover. Managing disruptions is the third important business task that can be improved with AI.
Hurricanes, carrier bankruptcies, and employee strikes all have the potential to cause massive damages to the logistics business. Predicting such disruptions and training AI to learn from contingency plans developed by humans enables automated corrective action in the future.
To do so, CHR pulls together sources of information to analyze the impact of past disruptions, such as a carrier strike in France or a hurricane in the NE United States. If a distribution center is threatened with adverse weather, freight can be re-routed to a safer one. Part of the data collection entails detailed surveys that track how human employees handled disruptions and the outcomes of their management.
Lindbloom hopes that eventually systems can be trained to automatically take optimal actions after learning from humans. Due to a critical need for reliability, CHR builds and manages their own data centers, only going to the cloud if extra computing power is needed.
Owning data center resources allows CHR to spin up environments very quickly as needed, but also to commit idle systems to research and development. We have all the same technology as the core cloud providers, but we know where all the data is, we can control it, and we make confidentiality promises to customers. Other giants in logistics and supply chain agree and also committed substantial dollars to AI initiatives.
DHL aims to reduce costs with autonomous cars, Active Ants builds wearable technology to optimize warehouse tasks, Locus Robotics develops warehouse robots, and Honda leverages smartphone applications for real-time shipment tracking. Increasingly more companies plan to invest in in-house development for AI applications in predictive analytics, operations and management, augmented reality, robotics, and industrial IoT.
Be willing to experiment and fail fast. Try to solve the same questions with multiple different models. Multivariate-type testing is key. The company manages wireless, landline, and even private secure networks to power connectivity for both individuals and corporations.
All these networks generate incredible volumes of data ripe for machine analysis. Traditional cell towers are usually suboptimally placed near urban centers and form an imperfect grid, leading to gaps in coverage. Small cells are less expensive, more compact cells that can be installed on inner city buildings on a much finer grid. Their role is to repeat the signal from the main cell towers to get closer to end users.
By crunching mobile subscriber data, well-calibrated AI can help create spatial models to hone in on ideal spots to build small cells to ensure maximum 5G signal strength for customers. Designing the right 5G infrastructure is critical, especially given the rapid rise of video.
Infrastructure is an enormous investment, even with small cells, so accurately modeling trends and usage growth is key to success. Demographic trends can cause previously underutilized areas to suddenly become hot traffic generators. While statistical models are useful for identifying trends in customer movement and throughout, AI and machine learning techniques create future projections from current data.
Telecommunications The tool has been used outside the company to characterize sports fans in real time and analyze crime rates and history.
Algorithms and tools are not the bottleneck in solving problems. Modern data- hungry AI approaches require a centralized data source, but gathering one across a myriad of networks with idiosyncratic standards is no trivial task. Each small cell collects cellular data differently.
Some track 4G but not 3G. If variations are not taken into account, bias will appear in the data and the results. At the same time, he cautions against using deep learning as a magical black box to solve all problems. Instead, you should prioritize solid data infrastructure, subject matter expertise, and utilizing an ensemble of methods from data science and machine learning toolboxes.
Volinsky would know best. The key lesson learned during the three year competition was the power of ensembles. Ensembles involve combining various methods — ranging from regression, support vector machines, singular value decomposition, restricted boltzmann machines, and neural networks — to produce a result. Each Foundry specializes in a different industry.
Similar to the Labs, the Foundries also leverage custom-built open- source tools such as Flow Designer, a rapid prototyping tool that simplifies hardware design for software engineers. Turns out this can be mission critical for startups like AIRA which must ensure superior connectivity at all times to protect the safety of their patients. Fearful of security lapses, many operate their own data centers for fear of uploading personal information to the cloud.
Regardless of the cloud provider a hospital chooses to use, ATT runs private network connections to all of their servers. Migrating more hospitals to the cloud solves not only administrative pains, but also unblocks AI research. Competition often incentivizes hospitals to hoard data that is critical to share for superior results. Algorithms for essential patient services such as vital sign monitoring can be trained on aggregate data sets for more accurate benchmarks. Machine learning allows her to build textual models, identify customer intent, and route them to appropriate support agents faster.
Together, AI bots and human agents can learn from every customer interaction to personalize the customer experience. Deep learning evangelists say neural networks effectively incorporate all the other models, but I have not seen that work in practice.
The pervasive influence of technology in how we create, exchange and store money treads a colorful history — replete with culture-shifting innovations such as cash registers, magnetic credit cards and mobile wallets. With recent advances in machine learning, computer vision, voice recognition, natural language processing and other areas of artificial intelligence, the chemistry between money and machine is just warming up.
Tell-tale signs are all over the place: Capital One recently launched an NLP-capable chatbot named Eno at the wake of other industry firsts in terms of AI applications. Eno enables customers to chat with the bank using text-based natural language to pay bills and retrieve account information.
Mastercard is leveraging AI to enhance experiences across its ecosystem for consumers, partners, issuers, and merchants , as well as to hike operational efficiency and close loopholes in areas such as fraud and false declines. The financial services giant worked with AI enabler Kasisto to build chatbots for banks and merchants to better engage consumers.
Financial services Their use of AI centers on improving the experience of knowledge workers by building systems that not only answer questions on structured data e.
