If AI is to be used in industrial applications, parallel computing with the shortest response times in real time is often required. This places new demands on embedded computer technology, such as computer-on-modules (COMs).
The artificial intelligence (AI) market is currently experiencing an incredible boom. According to ResearchAndMarkets, the global AI market is expected to grow by 36.6 per cent annually to US$ 190.61 billion by 2025. AI is already all around us today. In our personal lives we experience AI, for example, in product, film and music recommendations as well as service hotlines, where AI bots answer general customer questions completely autonomously.
AI is also behind smartphone features, such as face and gesture recognition and personal (voice) assistants. However, according to Deloitte’s study “Exponential Technologies in Manufacturing,” one of the most important drivers for new AI is also the production sector. Next to less-critical use cases—such as AI for predictive maintenance or demand forecasting—industrial AI can also be used in areas of application that require real-time capabilities. These include, for example:
Industrial image processing, where AI helps capture many different states and/or product features, and evaluates these via intelligent pattern recognition to enable more reliable quality control. Forbes states that AI can increase error detection rate by up to 90 per cent.
Cooperative and collaborative robots that share the same work space with humans can react flexibly to unforeseen events, making decisions based on situational awareness.
Similar requirements apply to autonomous industrial vehicles.
AI applications in the semiconductor industry showed, for example, 30 per cent reduction in reject rates when using Big Data to analyse rootcause data, which must be collected with high precision and in real time.
Lastly, there is the large area of real-time production planning and control of Industry 4.0 factories. Here, AI helps optimise the processes at the edge, thereby increasing utilisation of machines and, ultimately, productivity of the entire factory.

"MILES TO GO Before I Sleep"
A teacher illuminates the path to success through the light of knowledge, yet some teachers extend that light to society through their contributions and research. Known as the architect of the modern M3 electronic voting machine (EVM) and the voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) that transformed India's democratic process, Prof. (Dr) Rajat Moona's journey began in the modest town of Bareilly. Here is his story, as recounted to and written by EFY's Yashasvini Razdan.
