A Deep Dive of Applying AI in Electronic Manufacturing

Date
-

The rapid growing availability and maturity of AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology is creating new paradigm in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 transformation for manufacturing industry, including electronic manufacturing sector. There is great potential to apply AI in electronic manufacturing processes to assure product quality with significant efficiency improvement and cost reduction. However, a successful AI adoption has critical dependency on the careful analysis of business processes and data availability of the use case. It requires deep expertise and knowledge in both AI and the use case domain to deliver the expected ROI (return of investment) for AI adaption.

This webinar will focuses on two types AI technologies: Computer Vision AI and LLM (Large Language Model) Generative AI. A deep dive on the following topics will be discussed, with reference of technical papers published by IBM and iNEMI. 

- Current state-of-art Computer Vision AI and Generative AI technology

- Analysis of business processes and use uses

- Reference architecture and methodology for AI adoption

- The associated challenges in security, privacy, cost and capability
