19JANUARY - 2023W RDBy Noemi Guerrer, Assistant Project Manager and Thad Saunders, Director of Manufacturing Engineering, Clark PacificMANUFACTURINGAI IN DATA ANALYTICS AND MACHINE LEARNINGManufacturing Intelligence (MI) is waterman concept that is till new and in relative infancy. MI centers around the premise of utilizing software in conjunction with existing manufacturing operations to generate deep analytics that was built from the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to drive production. Ultimately, MI is the idea of taking IIoT, digital twins, cloud management and technology, such as Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) and applying them to the manufacturing floor for improved data and function. These systems form the blueprint to be coming a plant with integrated MI. While simple as a general procedure, implementing MI is not easy and can be costly as it involves deep financial or time investments. The degree of difficulty will be determined by a plant's digital maturity. Where to begin then? At the basis of MI is data. Begin by obtaining consistent data from a core product or process.There is a great opportunity in data analytics through Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. These Noemi GuerreroINSIGHTS
