Project description
AI for better production control
Digitalisation, smart electronics and sensors have provided huge benefits to production processes by controlling and supervising stages throughout production. However, current options like machine learning models, neural network design or manual data processing are unable to manage the amount of data and cannot offer efficient decision-making models or solutions. The EU-funded Pythia project aims to develop and spread the use of an AI system that uses heavily researched deep learning algorithms that can organise and clean data to provide better models and strategies. This system, Pythia, already tested in the paper production industry, can detect errors in production up to 30 minutes before while also assisting in checking the efficiency of solutions.
Objective
With the digitalization of the industry, smart electronics and sensors that control and supervise every stage of the paper production process are available. However, current solutions to process the data such as manual data processing, neural networks design or other machine learning models cannot keep up with the amount of gathered data, providing inefficient decision-making models that ultimately do not solve the problem completely. PerfectPattern has developed, Pythia, An Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution based on deep learning algorithms, capable of autonomously gathering, cleaning and analysing data within seconds. Pythia is able to forecast error behavior of a highly complex production system around 30 minutes ahead, with a model that takes under a second to compute data. Thanks to this long pre-warning time, it is possible to build smart strategies to prevent the error. The system even allows to check with Pythia if the strategy will effectively avoid the future error. We not only deploy the leading edge research in AI from Mathematics, we understand key influences coming from leading edge science in Physics (string theory, quantum field theory). Therefore Pythia’s AI is a leapfrog in technology. Pythia has already reported economic benefits to the paper production industry. But the potential of Pythia goes beyond the paper industry. With its unsupervised data analytics and anomaly detection capabilities, Pythia can be expanded as a prediction and production control system for many other industrial applications. With the PoC of Pythia giving successful initial results; there are several big decisions to make before we can continue with the project. We are seeking now to conduct a feasibility study in order to direct our development and commercial efforts.
