AI-based Quality Control
AI-bases Quality Control (2 days)
AI-based quality control is a method of using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to improve the accuracy and efficiency of quality assurance processes. The goal of AI-based quality control is to automate and optimize various quality control tasks by analyzing large amounts of data, that come directly from the manufacturing process, identifying patterns, and making predictions based on that data.
AI-based quality control can be applied in various industries, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and software development. In manufacturing, for example, AI-based quality control can be used to detect defects in products by analyzing images or sensor data. In healthcare, AI-based quality control can be used to identify potential errors in medical records or diagnostic imaging results. In software development, AI-based quality control can be used to identify bugs or errors in code by analyzing code changes and user behavior.
The key benefits of AI-based quality control include improved accuracy and consistency, faster and more efficient testing, and the ability to identify issues early on before they become more costly or time-consuming to fix. However, it is important to note that AI-based quality control does not replace existing routines, methods and expertise (e.g. Statistical Process Control), but rather augments, enhances and automates existing quality control processes. For example, one can very efficiently perform a 100% digital assessment of all components / processes, instead of the established sample-based assessments.
In this course you will learn the characteristics and benefits of a AI-based quality control. Special focus will be placed on the interplay between established methods (i.p. SPC, Six Sigma), Big Data and the opportunities offered by AI algorithms. You will understand a typical AI-workflow from acquiring and preprocessing data, feature engineering, model training, model evaluation, model deployment, and model management. Furthermore you will gain insights into root cause analysis of quality problems to identify which parts need rework or need to be rejected.
The theoretical topics of the training will be intensified by hands-on exercises, based on real-world IIoT datasets. By default, all exercises are performed with Python.
