HomeEventsEluciDATA Tech Talk 2022: AI for optimisation of industrial processes

More and more companies wonder how to use Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to improve the quality of their products, to have an optimal use of resources, and to forecast possible problems during their production cycles. However, they often do not know where to start, and lack a realistic overview of the challenges that lie ahead and of the data that could be useful for tackling those challenges.

To inspire, encourage and give a thorough overview of the current state of the art on the use of AI for optimizing industrial processes to our EluciDATA Community Members, we invited for this year’s EluciDATA Tech Talk Dr. Carlos Garcia from IMR (Irish Manufacturing Research), who will give an inspirational keynote. In addition, real-world use case examples will also be showcased by some of our industrial partners.

Agenda

12:00 Welcome lunch

13:00 AI in manufacturing: the perspective of a Digital Innovation Hub - Dr. Carlos Garcia, Irish Manufacturing Research

  • There is no doubt that Artificial Intelligence will play a prominent role in all kinds of industrial operations in the future. There are already quite a few AI applications running in the industry, some more successful than others. In this talk, we'll look at several of those applications in real-world manufacturing and discuss some important points to keep in mind when considering embarking on an AI project
