AI in practice: 3 real uses of AI described

What this episode covers

Eythor Eiriksson, founder and CEO of euler, explains how his company uses AI to analyze existing powder bed fusion camera data for real-time monitoring and quality assurance in additive manufacturing. He details the platform's ability to predict defects like spatter and warping before they cause crashes, allowing operators to intervene early. Eiriksson discusses the challenges of data access for training models, the company's hybrid cloud/on-prem deployment strategy, and the future potential of reducing reliance on post-print CT scans.

The euler platform uses computer vision and machine learning to analyze powder bed fusion images in real-time, predicting defects like spatter and warping before they cause a crash, allowing operators to intervene early and save materials.

“is it is actually always trying to predict the likely outcomes in the future. … based on everything that has happened before in the build and its collective learnings from observing, you know, thousands of bills. It's always trying to give an estimate of how likely is this built to fail. Five layers, 10 layers, 15 layers, 20 layers in the future.”

The AI analyzed historical image data from successful and failed builds to identify a minor design error causing warping, prompting a component redesign that increased print success rates and prevented recoater damage.

“a customer of ours, they put in data where they had failures to see how it would have been responded, and they also put results that were good. From analyzing 10s, 20 builds results, they identified that there was a minor design error in the component, which warped us a tiny bit causing, sometimes damage to the recoder, sometimes not.”

The platform automates 24/7 monitoring of additive manufacturing builds using existing camera data, alerting operators to defects so they can stop builds early or suppress components, saving days of production time and material.

“the oiler platform is this intelligent entity that is monitoring 247 year build, irregardless of how many printers you have, and then once it detects something going wrong, or there's a defect where the user would want to be alerted. We notify that person … you don't have to babysit these printers, basically.”

    Practical AI Applications for Optimizing Your Manufacturing Operations w/ Berk Birand

    Berk Birand, co-founder and CEO of Fero Labs, explains why standard 'black box' AI models are unsuitable for manufacturing due to high stakes and lack of explainability, advocating instead for explainable machine learning. He details three practical applications: diagnostics to find root causes of issues like steel breakouts, forecasting to predict quality outcomes before lab results arrive, and optimization to adjust production parameters in real-time. Birand also addresses common hesitations regarding data quality and labor shortages, arguing that AI can augment junior engineers and improve sustainability by reducing waste.

    Electronica 24: Peter Gutschi on How AI is Shaping the Future of Manufacturing

    Peter Gutschi, a consultant supporting companies like ESCATEC and startups, explains how AI is moving beyond hype to drive real efficiency in manufacturing, from shop floor quality management to supply chain planning. He highlights specific technologies such as Luminovo's platform for calculating CO2 footprints and Cybord's component inspection tools, which handle data volumes impossible for humans to manage in real time. Gutschi argues that this enhanced visibility allows EMS providers to accurately commit to delivery dates and prevent the inventory overhangs seen in past crises like the 2000 tech wreck.

    Revolutionizing Inspection with AI: Loopr.ai Founder & CEO Priyansha Bagaria on EMS@C-Level

    Priyansha Bagaria, founder and CEO of Loopr.ai, explains how her company uses AI-powered computer vision to automate quality inspection in aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing. She details the deployment of their software applications, IQ Inspect for defect identification and IQ Verify for assembly verification, which are hardware-agnostic and integrate with existing camera infrastructure. Bagaria highlights key industry pain points, including the high cost of quality, labor shortages, and the loss of institutional knowledge as experienced workers retire, arguing that AI provides the consistency and scalability that human inspection cannot. She also discusses Loopr's strategic partnership with Microsoft and the importance of starting with high-value pilot projects to demonstrate clear ROI before scaling across factory floors.
