How AI is optimizing factory maintenance – Part 1

By Spencer Acain

When operating a factory, one of the major goals is to minimize issues, downtime, or anything else outside the status quo and ensure smooth operation. However, this is easier said than done, as all machines require maintenance and must contend with unforeseen failures. Predictive maintenance is emerging as a powerful tool that leverages AI and machine learning to better understand when and where maintenance is required to minimize downtime and preemptively handle issues before they become catastrophic.

In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined by Dr. James Loach, Head of Research for Senseye Predictive Maintenance, to explore the unique approach Senseye is taking to the problem of keeping factories running as smoothly as possible.

In this episode you will learn:

  • What is Senseye (2:40)
  • Senseye as a decision support system (4:30)
  • How AI brings flexibility and scalability to predictive maintenance (11:04)
  • Monitoring operations vs. looking for failures (13:13)
