Home Artificial Intelligence & Data Science Artificial Intelligence & Data Science Artificial Intelligence & Data Science AI is now everywhere: in homes, with intelligent conversational agents, in cities, with the introduction of autonomous cars on a trial basis, on the Internet with browsing that considers your preferences, but also in companies… Xavier Brucker Partner (Paris) | Polytechnique MIT Christophe Bressange Managing Partner Operations | EMLyon Jong-Mo Allegraud Senior Data Scientist | ISAE “AI is a set of methodologies particularly adapted to the world of industry. It is important to invest early in AI, to enrich internal skills and generate a strong competitive advantage.” The Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science approach is particularly relevant in industrial contexts. AI will monitor, predict, and optimize predefined KPIs and provide real-time answers. The complexity related to many different parameters will be easily manageable by a machine learning model. Man will still have added value in interpreting context and exceptions, and thus making the right decisions with the help of the machine. An AI project consists in properly framing the subject and the KPIs that need to be optimized and in anticipating the interaction of these methodologies in the global process as well as with the people who lead it. 30% of production data is not used 99% of company data is not used 40 zettabytes of data in the world by 2020 What are the effects of Artificial Intelligence in organizations? In organizations, Artificial Intelligence will first seek to improve operational efficiency. In practice, the most effective AI approaches are based on the analysis of KPIs related to the processes studied and seek to predict and optimize them on the basis of a large number of parameters. Products, services, processes and life cycle management can gradually be automated under the control of human operators. The company then transforms itself relying on predictive and prescriptive functionalities, capitalizing on past events. Robots, cobots, natural language and image processing, but also RPAs (robotic process automations) are among the methods mastered and deployed. How to initiate an AI process? It is essential to start with a business vision of the problem you are working on. What are the KPIs? What are the parameters that can influence these KPIs? What types of results would be useful? The actual “data science” phase consists of gathering data, cleaning it if necessary, and injecting it into different models to find the best performance. The last phase is crucial: it is the insertion of the model into the industrial process, taking into account the added value of human supervision, the performance and reliability of algorithms. 4 approaches AI is particularly suitable for industrial projects. 1 Control of components in the factory Decision support for the qualification of components on a production line. Image and parameter analysis for diagnosis. 2 Optimization of the Supply Chain Prediction of stock requirements for a product launch, accurate definition of the safety stock, optimization of warehouses. 3 Optimization of the performance of a production line Research for optimal parameters for a production line. Anticipation of problems and deviations. 4 Optimization of tests Assistance in troubleshooting, review and prediction of test sequences, prediction of test results.
