Designing and building machines that provide end users with improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness and increased productivity is a challenge facing many OEMs. Whilst artificial intelligence offers the potential to predict component failure, reduce unplanned downtime, and enable a preventative maintenance approach, it is not always clear how best to implement this technology.
This webinar aims to demystify industrial AI with a step-by-step explanation:
• What is industrial AI?
• Why use AI and how it can contribute to the efficient deployment of people and assets?
• How do you use industrial AI to improve efficiency & quality and reduce downtime?
We will address a fundamental choice facing OEMs, whether to develop their own AI tools or source them from a supplier; and look at the pros and cons of each option.
The webinar will conclude with an explanation and demonstration of the latest AI-based tools from Festo and how to integrate them into your new and existing machines.
Join this 45-minute webinar to learn more about industrial AI and take the opportunity to ask our experts questions. This session is ideal for design and controls engineers in OEM’s as well as production and maintenance engineers in End-Users / manufacturers looking to use artificial intelligence to improve machine reliability and increase overall OEE.
Title: How can Artificial Intelligence help you implement predictive maintenance?
