Developing & Implementing AI tools for Automation
Implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in a business or product is complex and requires considerable understand and investment. However, the rewards are also likely to be significant too. Research from Global market Insights suggests…
Will AI deliver tangible value from big data?
The Internet of Things (IoT) changes everything at record speed. It is said that 90 percent of the data in the world has been generated in the last two years. The latest estimate is…
Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily lives has grown over the last few years. For the most part we do not notice or consider that AI is behind it. Whether people…
Data as a Currency: Expect New Business Models to Grow
For many years business models in automation have been very similar. However, their foundation is based on assumptions that IIot will probably make invalid. Schneider Electric sees that with the digitisation of plants…
IIoT Controller Hardware offers Profit from Industry 4.0
For manufacturers investing in IIoT or Industry 4.0, the challenge is to improve automation in a way that improves the bottom line. Most of the control strategies employed today evolved in response to a…
What does IIoT mean for Automation?
To begin with, it is hardly surprising that engineers are confused about what IIoT means for the automation of their industry. A recent study by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers showed only 8% of…
