Machine Learning for Asset Maintenance

05/18/17, 07:40 AM | Supply Chain, Engineering | Operation and Maintenance
Unsupervised Machine Learning is much more cost effective than Supervised Machine Learning because the algorithm does not need blueprints or understanding of the physical process to "learn" the behavior of the asset.

Industry 4.0, IIoT and Connected Manufacturing

05/18/17, 07:39 AM | Automation & IIoT, Engineering | IIOT, Industry 4.0
The greatest benefit seems to be in complex control of the factory. A SCADA system is extremely useful for all of the workers on the production team. The operator has the main overview of the production in real time, the technologist is able to reconfigure the recipes from the office when itÂ's necessary, for maintenance it is important when and why the failures happened and the shift leader can check who is responsible for that.
