Google and Siemens combine forces to address AI at the industrial edge
Summary
Google has partnered with Siemens to combine deep domain expertise in manufacturing with artificial intelligence (AI). In a video showcasing how AI could be deployed on a production line, Axel Lorenz, vice-president of control and factory automation at Siemens Digital Industries, discussed AI-powered vision, based on a camera and a model trained by Google Cloud. Google claims its approach can operate across many different manufacturing companies by offering the ability to deploy AI on a global scale. By simplifying the deployment of AI in industrial use cases, we’re helping employees augment their critical work on the shop floor.” Data drives today’s industrial processes, but many manufacturers continue to use legacy software and multiple systems to analyse plant information, which is resource-intensive and requires frequent manual updates to ensure accuracy. “This new approach to manufacturing will use smart transport and handling systems, and the optimal path will be envisaged, simulated and implemented in real time.
