Title:

Industrial AI and Resilient Maintenance Systems

Description:

Today, many global companies are facing increased challenges to manage its global assets due to several factors including pandemic, workforce, and other unknowns. It necessitates new thinking and technologies to make system smarter and more resilient. Industrial AI, Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Cyber Physical Systems are changing the way we design product, manufacturing, and service systems. It is clear that as more sensors and smart analytics software are integrated in the networked industrial products, manufacturing, and maintenance systems, predictive technologies can further learn and autonomously optimize productivity and performance. This presentation will give an introduction about Industrial AI for smart resilient maintenance operations and decision making. First, the development of Industrial AI using a systematic approach will be introduced. Case studies on advanced predictive analytics technologies for large-scale and complex engineering systems will be demonstrated. In addition, research issues on data quality for industrial AI enabled maintenance will be discussed.
