addressing the issue of data siloing and freeing manufacturers up to holistically embrace AI .
Quality inspection using the AI
The Manufacturing Data Engine “ We ’ ve worked together to provide manufacturers with the digital infrastructure to centralise their data , making it accessible for AI applications across the production lifecycle ,” Fabian says .
“ One example is the Manufacturing Data Engine ( MDE ), a cloud platform that stores and analyses data from factory machines , enabling faster and more efficient operations .”
MDE aggregates data from various factory sources , processes it and makes it accessible for analysis and AI applications like predictive maintenance and quality control . It ’ s a centralised hub that integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud ’ s AI and machine learning tools to optimise production and drive innovation .
“ Manufacturers can now visualise data trends , identify bottlenecks and make informed decisions more quickly ,” he continues . “ MDE allows companies to use AI models for predictive maintenance , quality control and other applications to optimise production .”
The partnership between GFT and Google has been key in implementing MDE for clients like Ford Motor Co . GFT ’ s role has been to help design the architecture and deploy tools for predictive maintenance , visual inspection and robotics on top of the data platform . manufacturingdigital . com 73
