Seminar World of Electronics & World of Industry
Artificial Intelligence: math or magic?
Wednesday September 25 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Location: Faraday Seminar Room in World of Electronics (Hall 9)
Today there is an explosion of new applications in artificial intelligence (AI). It started with platforms such as ChatGPT and now the entire business community is experimenting with generative AI: artificial intelligence that creates something based on an assignment. Powerful chips are needed to store and process the data and preferably as small as possible. In this new seminar we will discuss the role of electronics (hardware and embedded software) within AI. We then build a bridge to the application of AI in the manufacturing industry.

Democratize AI at the Edge
Power consumption is the primary bottleneck in bringing AI to edge devices. Traditional cloud-based AI, while powerful, often struggles with latency and security concerns, making it less suitable for real-time and sensitive applications. The challenge lies in deploying AI on resource-constrained endpoint devices, which are often battery-powered and require efficient power management to function effectively.
The solution to this problem lies in subtraction technology, which offers a significant reduction in power consumption. By optimizing processing tasks and eliminating unnecessary computations, subtraction technology enables AI to run faster and more securely on edge devices. This breakthrough makes it possible to harness the full potential of AI at the edge, delivering real-time intelligence without compromising on power efficiency or safety.

The future of AI powered software development
“Technology has always changed the world we live in, AI is no exception, one could even argue that AI will change the world and our society in a way we cannot yet imagine. Without a doubt it will also impact our way of working in every line of business, from logistics and aerospace to healthcare and public services. Of course, software development will be no exception. In this presentation we will address some general topics on the matter of AI and move on to specific changes in software development. Whether you're a developer, a tech enthusiast, or simply interested in (the future) of AI, this presentation might offer valuable insights into the next wave of advancements in software development.”

The impact of AI on the future of work in industry
Aging, automation and digitalization... it is often mentioned and when we think of AI we quickly think of ChatGPT-like LLM models, but what does it really mean for the application in industry.
- Case 1: how can AI in combination with robotics minimize a continuous risk of 2 million in downtime costs with >80% accuracy and 6 hours savings per day in operator rounds
- Case 2: Who knows best? Apply AI to run a plant autonomously for >30 days
- Case 3: digitize (physical) P&ID documentation using AI as input for DCS graphics (engineering cost reduction) and as input/basis for your digital twin

Overcome quality control challenges: the route to efficient and affordable AI vision solutions
In this presentation we explore the possibilities and benefits of AI vision in quality control. We start with an introduction to what AI vision is and the different types of algorithms used, such as object detection, segmentation, classification and anomaly detection. We then dive into how AI vision works and how video analysis, instead of classic photo image processing, is applied to gain real-time insights. We conclude with an overview of VisionPlatform.ai, showing how the platform addresses the challenges of high complexity and cost, while providing greater control to end users. This session aims to provide valuable insights into practical AI image processing, and is ideal for professionals interested in practical, scalable, flexible and affordable AI vision solutions for quality control.
