…says David Willingham, senior product manager, deep learning at MathWorks. “Automation can mean automating part or all of the AI workflow, such as automating labeling data, training of AI models, and automatically generating the production code that will run on the final AI system.” Some companies offer tools that they contend are suited to automate parts of the workflow. Other companies working in this area, however, find developers’ options limiting. “The current generation of AI design tools does not provide guided and automated workflows to easily train AI models,” says Altair’s Kocer. “Although there are countless algorithm libraries, there are…

MathWorks announces key updates to Simulink Real-Time that enhance rapid control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with Model-Based Design. In Release 2020b, Simulink Real-Time has been enabled with the QNX Neutrino RTOS, a multi-process 64-bit POSIX-compliant real-time operating system from BlackBerry. The QNX RTOS is used in safety-critical systems for vehicles, medical devices, industrial controls, rail, robotics and aerospace & defense. The update builds on the existing Simulink Real-Time and Speedgoat integration, enabling engineers to extend their Simulink models with I/O driver blocks, automatically build real-time applications, create instrumentation and perform interactive or automated runs on a target computer. Engineers…

MathWorks introduces Motor Control Blockset, an add-on product for Simulink for designing and implementing motor control algorithms. Now, motor control engineers can use reference examples and Simulink blocks for developing field-oriented control algorithms to spin brushless motors. The blockset extends the set of Simulink products for motor control design, enabling engineers to test algorithms with each design change, generate fast and compact ANSI/ISO C code, and use simulation to validate software, reducing certification testing cycles. “Instead of a process where handwritten code is not verified until actual motor testing, engineers can use simulation and code generation to catch errors earlier…

Guest commentary by Philipp Wallner, Industry Manager, MathWorks Predictive maintenance has become a growing requirement for industrial equipment operators responsible for preventing catastrophic system failures. Their ability to anticipate, and respond to, potential equipment malfunctions can enable them to preemptively schedule repairs and minimize overall disruptions to factory operation—ultimately benefiting the company’s bottom line. Yet skepticism still exists at times over whether predictive maintenance delivers measurable benefits. This doubt stems largely from companies that have difficulty determining what kind of ROI they will see from investing in the application and are unsure whether they have the proper amount of equipment…
