AI Application in Manufacturing Industry: Predictive Metrology for Control Systems
Developed an Open-Loop-System that aids operational personnel to control the glass coating process, improves the product quality, and reduces waste.
THE CUSTOMER
BUSINESS GOALS
Customer’s architectural glass manufacturing production was pretty old. At the R&D department, their material scientists was not sure about data and the value that could be generated using it. The idea behind the project was to look at their data and check the possibility of applying AI to the existing process.
THE SOLUTION
ThirdEye proposed to develop an open-loop system that receives live data from sensors and machines, computes predicted end-of-line metrology values and corrective action suggestions for the process parameters in real time while panes are being coated.
ThirdEye has developed an open-loop system backed by complex machine learning algorithms to control the manufacturing system in real time. The algorithms are built to predict whether a product is likely to be defective, in which case the manufacturing system is adjusted to prevent the defect. Additionally, the algorithms predict whether a machine is likely to fail, in which case the machine is taken offline for preventive maintenance.
The process steps were as follows:
- Developed an Open-Loop-System that aids operational personnel to control the glass coating process, improves the product quality, and reduces waste.
- The Open-Loop-System receives live data, computes the predicted end-of-line metrology values and corrective action suggestions for the process parameters in real-time, while panes are being coated.
- The predicted metrology values and parameter suggestions were made available in real-time on the shop floor in the form of a graphical user interface, with which the operational personnel interacts.
