Dashboard Evolution in Manufacturing
- Dashboards evolved from basic sensor data monitoring to operational insights and finally to simulation-driven platforms for what-if analysis.
- AI-powered 3D digital twins represent the latest phase, enabling immersive real-time facility simulation and optimization.
The Three Computers Framework
- Effective manufacturing AI relies on three computers: one to train AI, one to simulate digital twins, and one for edge compute on machines.
- This integration enables proactive facility management and problem avoidance before issues arise.
Optimize Edge Compute and Observability
- Shift compute power to the edge for localized AI model inference and optimization.
- Use container orchestration and observability tools to manage edge workloads and gather telemetry for better insights.
