ADVANCED ANALYTICS WORKSHOP

AI is changing the game for industrial organizations.

In our Advanced Industrial Analytics discussion, we'll look at how the shift from traditional tools to advanced machine learning techniques can help manufacturing, energy and other critical infrastructure sectors enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, and increase product quality. Case studies and other real-world examples will illuminate how some organizations have jumped ahead of competitors by investing early to fast-track their advanced analytics maturity.

  • 01Evolution to Performance Data Systems

    + Implementation of performance data collection systems
    + Focus on downtime, scrap, quality rejects, maintain/increase throughput, decrease cycle time
    + Transition to machine learning for solving traditional problems

  • 02Data Collection & Contextualization

    + Three pillars: data collection, contextualization layer, and digital twin creation
    + Connection to industrial automation platforms and historians
    + Creating equipment hierarchies: plants, lines, production side, packaging side
    + Example properties from data sources: temperatures, pressures, flows, equipment states
    + Use of threads for calculations, KPIs, and event creation

  • 03Machine Learning & Predictive Analytics Use Cases

    + Pre-built manufacturing use cases (e.g., quality test predictions, downtime predictions)
    + Process of connecting to data sources, training models, and predicting future outcomes
    + Recommendations based on predictions to avoid negative outcomes

  • 04 Digital Threads and Anomaly Detection

    + Learning from historical data to identify ideal conditions and limits
    + Stabilizing process variation to reduce scrap and downtime
    + Transition from anomaly detection to predictive modeling

  • 05Advanced System Operations

    + Integration with control systems for autonomous operations
    + Examples of automated recommendations and adjustments in the plant
    + Operator roles in manual vs. automatic modes for new and established products
    + Potential for deeper integration and autonomous operations in manufacturing environments
