INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Blazing the trail of cutting-edge automated production systems means embracing the large-scale adaptable automation AI provides. Chasing efficiency advantages in every production stage, the enticing prospect of expanded centralized control and fine-grained oversight is weighed against the upgraded system requirements needed to attain it. Interconnected intelligent manufacturing nodes with multiple computing-intensive endpoints trained to oversee processes, analyze the throughput, and communicate findings with central control over a robust high-speed data transmission backbone.
CHALLENGES
DATA TRANSMISSION
Monitoring endpoints in manufacturing range from simple sensors to complex AI systems that evaluate and act on incoming visual data from high-speed cameras. These systems require the lag-free processing of hundreds of images per minute.
EDGE COMPUTING
Edge computing applications on manufacturing lines, typically hidden behind closed doors, are not ideal for a typical computer. High temps, dust, and vibrations from heavy equipment wreak havoc on computing systems, impacting long-term viability and reliability.
DECISION-MAKING AND ACCURACY
Images are the beating heart of AI-powered machine vision, and on high-speed production lines, the image capture timing must be split-second perfect to capture the high-resolution images accurately, reveal tiny imperfections, and enable accurate decision-making.
