The Automationer Looks at Trends in Smart Manufacturing

Predictive Analytics is becoming a reality with tools for mining big data from your plant floor and machines. With predictive modeling and machine learning (ML), your automation equipment may be able to notify you of impending problems before you experience an unwanted downtime. The Automationer looks at what are the most common faults that predictive analytics are finding in “smart factories”.

• Successfully predicts when the manufacturer’s warranty expires. Impending failure is imminent.
• Through deep ML the analytics platform provided by one automation vendor finds fault with all of the competitive equipment in your plant.
• Operators – there are always faults with your operators.
• Alignment issues – more specifically misalignment of your company’s priorities.
