Microchips are an integral part of modern society,
controlling devices big and small, simple and complex. Designing these chips
isn’t a simple process by any means but equally so, fabricating and verifying
completed parts is not only incredibly complex, but a vital step in the
manufacturing process. Cutting edge microchips are so expensive to manufacture
that improving yields by even 1% can represent multi-million dollar
improvements in revenue.
In this podcast, host Spencer Acain is joined by Ron Press, Senior
Director of Technology Enablement at Siemens Digital Industries to explore the
ways he and his team are applying AI and ML in Tessent, a key tool in the chip
verification and design process. Additionally, Ron explains the importance of
testing and why the process takes so well to AI/ML.

vs. fine tuning for industrial grade AI (13:55) -
Chatbots and digital assistants aren’t anything new, but their
abilities and perceived intelligence were often extremely limited, giving them
no place in the complex world of industrial design and manufacturing. Now,
thanks to advances in industrial grade generative AI, that’s all beginning to
change. The Industrial Copilot is the first step in that change, offering
human-like assistance and intelligence to users at every level of the
industrial value chain.
In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined by Michi
Lebacher and Alessia Bortolotti to discuss the applications of AI in the Industrial
Copilot, a generative AI-based tool that assists users across a broad range of

Implementing AI into a complex and often mission-critical
application is rarely an easy task even though it is often highly worthwhile.
Even as AI experts work to bring AI into the applications where it can provide
the greatest benefits, their efforts also have a democratizing effect on both the
tools its being added to and the AI models themselves. This ensures that
everyone will have full access to the tools they need to capitalize on their
own domain knowledge without needing to become an expert in the tool itself.

also the ability to transfer that expertise into the required software and
programming languages. Low- and no-code solutions combat this by helping anyone
with an idea translate it, with little to no coding knowledge, into a
full-fledged application and generative AI is at the heart of this process.

When designing a product, there are countless parameters
that must be considered and balanced to arrive at a final, optimal result. In a
traditional design cycle, this is a highly manual process that seeks to reduce
the number of variables as much as possible to simplify the process. Now thanks
to advances in AI, it’s possible to not only handle a greater number of
variables but extract additional information from each one – allowing for
further design refinement.
In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined once again by
Dr. Gabriel Amine-Eddine, Technical Product Manager for the HEEDS Design
Exploration Team, to examine the ways AI can be used to aid in design space
exploration and what that will mean for the future.

Predictive maintenance has long been a topic of interest in
industry but implementing and scaling theoretical models into the real world has
proven to be fraught with challenges. However, by approaching the problem from
a different angle, Senseye seeks to develop a scalable, general-purpose solution
that can easily apply to the often less than ideal real-world data coming from
factories. With intelligent use of AI models, predictive maintenance can be achieved
without the use of the costly and difficult to scale bespoke models that have
dominated the field for many years.
In this final episode on predictive maintenance, host
Spencer Acain is joined by Dr. James Loach, Head of Research for Senseye
Predictive Maintenance, to discuss Senseye’s unique approach, the struggles of
adopting predictive maintenance and AI in the real world, and what the future
for AI holds.

Decision making is a key part of any business, but it can take years to build up the knowledge and experience required to make quick, accurate judgements within a domain of expertise. This is just as true when it comes to deciding the course for a massive company as it is for deciding when a single machine needs to be taken down for maintenance. With the rise of conversational AI, the process can be made easier with smart systems that bring key information to the forefront.
In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined once again by Dr. James Loach, Head of Research for Senseye Predictive Maintenance to discuss the ways Senseye is using AI to build intelligent decision support systems. James explains the importance of these systems, as well as their limitations and how Senseye is working to build trust in them.

The value of where AI and humans meet (12:00) -
When operating a factory, one of the major goals is to
minimize issues, downtime, or anything else outside the status quo and ensure
smooth operation. However, this is easier said than done, as all machines require
maintenance and must contend with unforeseen failures. Predictive maintenance is
emerging as a powerful tool that leverages AI and machine learning to better
understand when and where maintenance is required to minimize downtime and preemptively
handle issues before they become catastrophic.
In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined by Dr. James
Loche, Head of Research for Senseye Predictive Maintenance, to explore the unique
approach Senseye is taking to the problem of keeping factories running as
smoothly as possible.
