…lead from 2017 through 2022. Key players include Bosch, GE, Hitachi, Honeywell and Rockwell Automation. Increasing Product Availability The underlying architecture of a preventive maintenance model is fairly uniform. The analytics usually reside on a host of IT platforms, but these layers are systematically described as: data acquisition; data transformation—conversion of raw data for machine learning models; condition monitoring—alerts based on asset operating limits; asset health evaluation—generating diagnostic records based on trend analysis if asset health has already started declining; prognostics—generating predictions of failure through machine learning models, and estimating remaining life; decision support—recommendations of best actions; and human interface…

…with many well-established industrial solution providers such as ABB, GE, Siemens, and Honeywell, and bring AI into brownfield deployment, lowering upfront cost and the barrier to adoption. Through their partnership with system integrators and regional distributors, these startups have also ventured into Europe, South Korea, and Japan. “The high labor cost and the quick time-to-market have driven U.S. manufacturers to be more aggressive with the adoption of industrial AI solutions. This has given birth to pure-play AI players in the US, and as such, keeps the US to be the global leader in industrial AI solutions. Over time, however, we…

…says Rochak Sharma, senior director, Predix product development, at GE Digital. “Not only are they able to gather the data, but they also convert that data into meaningful insights by using their data processing and analysis abilities.” Although smart sensors have been in play for years, technology developers are still sorting out how sensing devices fit into the IoT environment. That said, a number of visions have surfaced. One such view anticipates an inclusive, global fabric. “We expect the system to consist of many smart sensors that interact locally with each other—we call this the ‘extreme edge level’—but also with…

…MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), and Ge Yang, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of AI and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI), about just how fast the quadruped robot can run. Q: We’ve seen videos of robots running before—why is running harder than walking? Achieving fast running requires pushing the hardware to its limits, for example by operating near the maximum torque output of motors. In such conditions, the robot dynamics are hard to analytically model. The robot needs to respond quickly to changes in the environment, such as the moment it encounters ice while running on grass. If…
