A Crisp Overview

The role of AI while turning natural resources and raw materials into tangible products across the primary and secondary industry sectors – be that anything from mining to farming, forestry, fishing, manufacturing, construction, heavy industry, food industry, fashion industry, and fast-moving consumer goods.

The Details

Global spending on AI is expected to reach $110 billion in 2024. In the primary and secondary industry sectors, with this amount being put towards the process of turning raw materials into tangible consumer goods, sometimes it is hard to see and understand where AI supported the final output.

This CognitiveVirtual, with global AI experts and leaders, shed light exactly on that!

The role of AI in the process of turning raw materials into tangible consumer goods, where most of us only see the end result, such as the furniture around us, food on our dining tables, cosmetics and toiletries in our bathrooms, the clothes we wear, the transportation infrastructure and public transport we use daily, the buildings we work, shop and live in, and even the facilities and machinery that provide energy in our homes.

The Transformation of AI Hype Into Reality

KEYNOTE

Eva Schönleitner, Crate.io, CEO

The time for the AI hype to turn into reality has come. The forecasts predict AI revenues to achieve $327bn in 2021 with continued annual growth of over 17% the next three years with the highest growth in new AI Software Platforms and AI Application Development services. The technologies are starting to mature rapidly, which enables broad adoption of AI applications driving digitalization across the full spectrum of industrial segments. As part of this evolution, highly scalable data infrastructure becomes crucial, as well as the need to optimize around the cloud and the edge.

Using AI to Optimize Automation and Control

USE CASE

Martin Rugfelt, sentian.ai, CEO
Ivan Jursic, Jumo, Development Engineer

Adding AI to industrial control systems opens wide opportunities to reduce cost, scrap and greenhouse emissions while improving quality and yield. As AI evolves with new capabilities and matures into products Industrial AI is replacing older generations of technology such as APCs. A practical example is JUMO who implemented a solution to improve quality and yield in the production of platinum thin film sensors. Despite having seen several data science challenges such as limited data, time lags in measurements, and some process unknowns the project was a success with 10 percentage points improvement in the yield of sensors with the highest accuracy class.
