Industry 4.0 is gaining popularity, but professional roles like Data Scientists and ML Engineers are difficult to find for manufacturing companies, especially in SMEs. An automatic ML tool specialized in data-driven solutions for manufacturing is needed. This tool should be easy to use for those with limited ML background and enable quick deployment of smart monitoring solutions like anomaly detection and predictive maintenance.

Start date: 05/01/2022

Duration in months: 9

Problem Description

Implementing an automatic Machine Learning (ML) tool for the design of data-driven solutions for manufacturing companies. The tool should be easy to use also for people with limited or no background in ML.

Goals

New services

Challenges

Many companies still face obstacles that prevent the adoption of a strategy based on non-personal data generated by industrial processes and equipment. In particular, some of the professional roles required to deal with a ML project are still difficult to find for manufacturing companies, especially in SMEs. The challenge faced with the use-case is to implement an automated tool for such companies in order to overcome these obstacles.

Innovation results

The technological result is an automated tool that allows users to implement intelligent monitoring solutions without the need for advanced data science or ML Engineering skills and simplify feasibility assessment. It also offers the availability of implemented ML algorithms for diagnosis and prognosis and the availing of a proof of concept of AutoML4.0.

Business impact

Product portfolio has been expanded. AutoML4.0 will expand the product line and enable a sales approach that requires less customization (and hence reduced costs).New market possibilities can be found by addressing firms interested in pursuing a data-driven strategy but lacking Data Science and ML Engineering expertise, the suggested solution would provide new market opportunities.
