Work stoppages cost companies money. It’s neither a secret nor a great mystery. The longer the stoppage and the bigger the company, the greater the revenue loss and operating cost…
Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, mostly refers to the shift to a new kind of smart factories and manufacturing end-to-end processes. They leverage a slew of new technologies…
Process manufacturing is susceptible to what is usually referred to as specification drift or spec drift. Whether the process uses extruders, chemical vats, or any other continuous process, control and…
As discussed in previous articles, here and here in particular, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) trained AI agents can help optimize manufacturing processes across different manufacturing challenges aspects. In addition…
Every Autonomous System (AS) project built using the Microsoft Project Bonsai AI toolchain (or any other tool) will comprise the same core set of components. Whether the goal is to…
Deep Reinforcement Learning-based AI agents, developed, trained, and deployed using Microsoft Project Bonsai tool chain, open new possibilities of process manufacturing improvements. Coupled with the appropriate simulator to drive their training…
Conservation is one of the most powerful tools we can use to meet our future energy needs. Every British thermal unit (Btu) of energy that we forego through conservation represents…
With Industry 4.0 comes the promise of leapfrog in productivity, quality, and the overall return on your manufacturing investment. A key driver of those improvements is the large amount of…
