The role of data and analytics has changed, from being a stand-alone discipline to becoming a catalyst for digital strategy and transformation. Data and analytics leaders should create a strategy and operating model that conceives data-driven business opportunities and orchestrates enterprise action.
It offers the ability to connect to industrial machinery and sensors, normalize data over the
edge, enrich→ transform → aggregate → correlate data within the data-platform to build various data-analytics use-cases and applications such as OEE, anomaly detection, trend prediction,
predictive maintenance and energy optimization.
ConnectedThinks platform offers a custom-built visualization engine, built from the ground up to serve the specific requirements of industrial operations which demand a combination of real-time diagnostic monitoring for high-speed data, a SCADA-like monitoring system with visual aids and historical data analytics with data ranging from a few weeks to couple years.
Vision and Sound are 2 important systems for inspection in industrial environments. ConnectedThinks offers ML-based solutions built with data from relatively cheaper IP surveillance cameras and microphones. These help to become the Eyes and Ears for your industrial setup.
The main components include –
Vision ML/AI Solutions
ConnectedThinks offers a set of pre-built and configured solutions for specific industrial use cases. These solutions are specifically designed to be deployed within an industrial premise and can work with generic IP surveillance cameras for the input video feed. Now you can easily and conveniently convert any of your IP camera feed into AI and ML-enabled data insight which you can utilize to identify operational conditions and optimize the industrial process. Combined with the ConnectedThinks data platform, you have a complete solution to not only identify objects in the camera but also build business logic to automate processes and gather valuable data insights through analytics.
AGV and AMR Market is expected to reach $13.2 Billion by 2026 with a growth rate of around ~35%. This is driven by multiple factors such as – shortage in labor, demand for quick deliveries and an e-commerce boom. Multiple warehouses and Factory floors are employing AMRs to improve their efficiency and be able to scale their operations.
While the sensor technologies and processing capabilities of AMRs and AGVs have significantly improved, deploying these in warehouses is still a challenge resulting from partially automated processes. i.e AMRs and AGVs need to work alongside human workers and use the same systems and processes such as lift systems and fork-lifts leading to integration challenges.
Middleware to work alongside mixed-palletizing, zone-picking, good-to-person, order-pick and voice-pick systems. Works with the AMR Fleet Manager to optimize the order, distance travelled and time taken to complete an order.
IP cameras overlooking warehouses monitor traffic and help in routing, notifying about pick-up/drop jobs, safety, etc
Collect data from AMRs, AGVs and systems involved in intralogistics to optimize operations
Ease integration to lift, scanner, conveyer systems and build rules
Industrial Construction – such as construction of chemical plants, hydrogen plants, industrial boilers, etc involve project spanning anywhere from half year to 2 years. Most of these constructions are in typically in remote areas – away from major towns and cities. Here, monitoring progress of construction, process adherence, monitoring usage of safety/PPE kits, utilization of cranes and other construction vehicles, utilization and tracking of construction equipment such as drills and wielding machines, tracking construction material and scrap-area usage, large-bin occupancy, movement of trucks etc is important. |
ConnectedThinks offer vision based automated surveillance system and asset tracking solutions to address these needs. |
This tracks data from IP cameras and uses on-site Industrial GPU Edge compute to identify various objects in image like people, PPE kits, cranes, vehicles, number-plates, text, person-ID. Then the cloud data-platform enables running rules and business-logic to identify events and raise alarms
Offer solution to connect with various positioning devices based on Bluetooth, LoRa, GPS or cellular to capture the location data. The data-platform provide the means to build suitable rules and business-logic to identify events, generate reports and raise alarms and notifications to operation staff. It also provide various usage and operational analytics and insights to optimize operations.
Vision ML/AI Pipeline
ConnectedThinks offers tools and servies to build custom Machine Learning algorithms which can identify and detect custom objects as well as implement a business logic which suits the problem at hand. Such a process involves curating multiple images, labeling, training the ML model iteratively until the expected precision is attained, optimizing the model and deploying it on custom edge devices as described below.
This step combines data from multiple sources and implements logic to derieve actionable insights from the object detection and vision pipelines. For example, counting the number of people detected in a warehouse aisle and determinining if there is a traffic jam, or determinining whether the AMR is within a safe operating zone, etc
