From face recognition to behavior recognition , from license plate recognition to autonomous driving, from industrial fields to medical care, construction, etc. Today, artificial intelligence technology has begun to be gradually implemented in many production and life scenarios, improving efficiency for the development of all walks of life and even promoting the emergence of new industries. Advantech is based on its deep accumulation in the field of industrial Internet of Things, and with its outstanding R&D strength and service level, it has deeply explored the application value of industry segments, and contributed Advantech's strength to the implementation of AI applications in various industries. Today, Xiao A brings 5 cases in the subdivided fields, and lets you learn with you how the application of AI can empower the development of various industries ~
AI defect detection
has an accuracy rate of 97%! Advantech worked with Viagra to create an AI detection tool
In the past, most factory parts were visually inspected by employees. Although training is provided for prosecutors, it is difficult to unify standards based on inspections based on personal perception. In addition, visual fatigue and employee turnover lead to a high detection rate of production line leakage. Furthermore, if the factory lacks programming staff, their understanding of machine vision detection will be very limited.
Adva Technology cooperated with Viagra to help a heat sink factory switch from artificial visual inspection to AI inspection. Combining rule-based machine vision and AI visual recognition, equipped with Advantech compact fanless system MIC-770 and AI reasoning system MIC-730, and create a radiator inspection machine. It not only helps to introduce automatic detection systems, but also continuously trains AI deep learning models to further reduce missed detection rates and improve inspection quality. The assembly and testing of the AI testing machine was completed in less than three months. The overall accuracy of for testing reached 97% , which was far higher than customer expectations. Moreover, in the past, when inspecting people, ten inspectors had to be equipped with a production line, and it took 30 seconds for each heat sink to perform three inspections; now only one person needs to do the final re-check , and can complete in just 4 seconds. Therefore, after the import solution not only reduces labor costs, but also speeds up the detection efficiency.
AI Smart Traffic
AI Smart traffic lights make smart cities efficient and reduce carbon
The phenomenon of red light empty is very common in some major roads in the city because the road width is wider. In order to allow pedestrians to cross the road safely, the number of green lights will be longer. When the traffic flow of people and vehicles is greatly reduced at night or even late at night, vehicles on the main roads are likely to encounter red light empty situations.
In order to reduce the phenomenon of empty red lights and improve driving efficiency, Taipei City, China introduced an AI intelligent traffic light control system in 2019. This system combines intersection surveillance cameras, Advantech MIC-720 industrial-grade edge AI computing host , and Congtai Technology AI algorithm, which can flexibly adjust the status of traffic lights based on the traffic flow and people on site to solve existing traffic problems. After the intelligent traffic signal control system was launched, the average delay time of each car at intersections at different sections decreased by 15~78% , the probability of empty in the middle of the night decreased to about 35%, and the green light time of the on the main road also increased by 7~79% . can reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of by about 23 tons per year, creating economic benefits of more than 300,000 yuan per year.
AI autonomous driving
Advantech AI edge reasoning platform, explores the infinite possibilities of autonomous driving
Automatic driving bus is one of the rapidly developing self-driving applications in recent years. The application scenarios are very diverse. In addition to buses and passenger transport running on open roads, shuttle buses running in closed fields are also very suitable. Moreover, the operating risk of closed fields is relatively lower than that of open roads and is easy to control.
A domestic intelligent driving company used Advantech MIC-715 reinforced AI reasoning platform (IP67 protection level), expanding the possibilities of autonomous driving buses in various application fields, such as large parks, airports, ports, parking lots, sports and leisure gardens, etc. Take parking lots as an example. In some parking lots with large areas, it often takes a while for visitors to walk to or find the elevator upstairs after parking their cars. When picking up the car, it is easy to forget which area they park. can use the self-driving shuttle bus to carry visitors to the parking space, which not only saves visitors' time, but also improves the efficiency of parking space use.
AI robot
small size and large effect! MIC-710AILX helps UV disinfection robots to work on epidemic prevention
Under the raging COVID-19 pandemic, regularly and frequently disinfecting the environment is also a necessary condition for eliminating the threat of viruses. However, it is very dangerous to rely entirely on human resources for disinfection operations, especially in high-risk areas. By replacing humans with robots, the risk of infection can be greatly reduced and environmental safety can be effectively maintained.
Therefore, Wistron and Advantech have jointly launched an ultraviolet disinfection robot. can not only save manpower, but also achieve on-site disinfection. This disinfection robot can move freely through pre-built maps in various fields without laying tracks. In addition, the task schedule can be set through software, and it will be dispatched regularly to disinfect and will automatically return to the position after completion. Even if there is insufficient power during the process, you will automatically go to the charging station to recharge the power before continuing the unfinished task. Behind the implementation of these functions, the support of Advantech AI inference system MIC-710AILX is inseparable. MIC-710AILX not only provides powerful computing and stable quality support, but also provides small sizes as small as a palm to match AMR with limited space. At present, this disinfection robot can not only be used in factories and shopping malls, but also in hospitals, shopping centers and libraries.
AI Security Protection
Low latency and low false alarms, AI ensures a safe working environment
In logistics centers, warehousing and construction sites, workers often come into contact with dangerous equipment, which causes thousands of accidents every year. Therefore, many construction sites have begun to apply real-time visual inspection systems, and simultaneously analyze 20 to 30 real-time image inputs, which can cover most construction site scenarios.
In these systems, AI analysis improves the visibility of on-site staff and equipment, and also improves the ability to respond to potentially dangerous situations. For example, when an employee accidentally approaches a large machine on the move, AI analyzes the image and issues an alarm in real time through the cloud to prevent accidents in a timely manner. Advantech's MIC-730IVA 8-channel image AI system is specially designed for this AI NVR application. It can directly receive 8 real-time streaming images from the camera. can also expand the number of images that MIC-730IVA can receive by using the EKI-2527PAI gateway. This system can finally receive 10 to 20 video streams.
