This month, we will introduce practical examples of the initiative to enhance production processes through the aggregation and analysis of factory data, known as "Smart Factory." Although you often come across the term "Smart Factory" in the news, you might wonder if it's a solution for large-scale factories with cutting-edge facilities. Many people may not feel it is very familiar. However, with the rapid advancement of AI technology and the widespread adoption of IoT, the barriers to implementation have decreased. As a result, there is a growing number of cases where effective implementation is carried out even in manufacturing facilities with a small number of production lines to address specific on-site challenges.
I will introduce three examples of Smart Factory Implementation.
- Visual inspection of parts using image recognition AI
- Inspection of components (connector parts) using acoustic AI diagnostics
- Abnormal assembly detection using image recognition AI (wiring assembly)
