Machines learn from machines Ingenuity Siemens

This is, what we aim to at our own factories. Read my introduction to a series of blogposts how we do this. Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), engineers at our manufacturing plant in Amberg can predict when a key component is likely to fail – up to 36 hours before the failure actually happens. This allows them to react in plenty of time to avoid a costly breakdown of the machine. In our electronics manufacturing facility in Amberg, we have several PCB cutting machines that are deployed for a number of our SIMATIC products – including the S7-300 and ET 200. As this machines work, aggressive milling dust builds up and, eventually, the spindles bearing jams.
