From Complexity to Clarity: Simplifying Digital Transformation
High-mix manufacturing environments are often defined by their complexity: frequent product changes, small batch sizes, and diverse material requirements. This makes digitalization particularly challenging. Through its Testing and Experimentation Facility (TEF) network, AI-MATTERS offers a way forward.
The AI-powered services to recognize, sort and package products support companies in:
- Making faster, more data-driven decisions
- Increasing production efficiency without extensive reconfiguration
- Digitalizing factory processes in an accessible, non-disruptive way
- Rapidly experimenting in realistic digital simulations
These services are specifically designed for manufacturers dealing with high variation and customization, such as those in additive manufacturing, electronics, or specialized components.
The full service descriptions can be found here:
- Identification of parts characterized by infinite geometries & material variation
- Material handling and bagging systems processing an infinity of random parts in high mix manufacturing
- Quality Inspection of parts in manufacturing characterized by high variation, customization, and/or complex organic shapes
- Sorting of parts in manufacturing characterized by infinite shape & material variation
- Automation and workflow optimization for manufacturing characterized by infinite shape & material variation
Real Impact for Real-World Manufacturers
The solution(s) demonstrated by AI-MATTERS partner Brainport Industries and their external technical partner AM-Flow shows how end-to-end integration of AI and digital technologies can reduce operational costs and increase control, even in highly dynamic production environments. Given that these technologies can handle a wide-variety of parts, you can imagine it could be applied to a wide array of contexts in manufacturing.
