The use of data collected from production systems is a low-cost way for manufacturers to improve performance. It is a tool that Arts et Métiers experts Arts et Métiers artificial intelligence know how to use effectively thanks to their real-world knowledge of production systems.
The importance of data
In recent years, manufacturers have equipped their machines and production systems with numerous sensors. The data collected in this way is stored on servers until it is ready to be used.
"Today, this analysis is often done empirically, by intuitively modifying certain parameters based largely on experience or expert opinion, "explains Lazhar Homri, data science expert at Arts et Métiers. "However, with the development of certain tools, we can quickly use this data to analyze and improve the performance of our production system and thus take action in real time."
Data serving industrial needs
On the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Metz, experts deploy data mining techniques to meet identified needs:
"When an industrial company calls on us, we deploy our tools to meet their needs: identifying key parameters for better performance, developing an approach for detecting and diagnosing process deviations, and quality management, " explains Lazhar. " Our methods make it possible to characterize the elements of a complex, multi-physics manufacturing process. "
Better control over machine settings
Data analysis provides a better understanding of the production system and its parameters:
- Identification of key process parameters,
- Identification of correlations between product, process, machine parameters, etc.
- Detection of deviations,
- Identification of the causes/root causes of deviations (sensor, component, module, chemistry, IT, etc.),
- Definition of the correct intervals by parameter,
- Etc.
Arts et Métiers companies in improving industrial performance through data
Arts et Métiers companies that want to develop their skills in using data to improve the performance of their production systems.
Several solutions are possible:
- Hosting an engineering student in their final year of study, for example in the field of "Overall Performance Management."
- Services are provided directly to companies through the subsidiary AMValor.
- Continuing education courses are offered through the AMTalents subsidiary.
