the case , we have implemented live data capture , allowing for real-time reporting from all machines . We use a software suite called Cimco , which provides data to our operations management team on their phones , enabling them to monitor machine status remotely . They can also dial the machines to determine whether any required adjustment can be made without physically coming in . We have invested both time and money in developing this capability , working as a team to transform raw data into information for decision-making .”
AI-driven solution
Turning to the topic of artificial intelligence ( AI ), Jamie reveals that it is set to drastically improve ROSS Pneumatrol ’ s manufacturing efficiency . “ We are close to deploying a visual inspection module to inspect our parts , which is crucial as we create a high variety of individual parts in relatively small volumes , making accurate inspection and testing more difficult for human beings . This AI-driven digital camera inspection module is equipped with mirrors to enable it to see five sides of the
product simultaneously . By mounting the part in front of the camera , the module can inspect all five sides at once and confirm the presence of any features we tell it to look for through an AI algorithm .
“ Next , we teach the module the shapes of the products we want it to inspect . Once trained , it can determine if each product passes or fails inspection . If the part fails the inspection , the AI module tells us which features caused a failure . A human employee can then confirm whether or not that was a problem and use that conclusion to further train the algorithm , thereby improving its accuracy . Utilizing an AI model is particularly valuable for our business due to the high variety of products we manufacture ,” he concludes .
By focusing on technical expertise and forward-thinking innovation , ROSS Pneumatrol has established itself as a key player in providing solutions for hazardous industrial applications . ■
