Building Industrial AI for the shop floor

Robotics have been a staple in manufacturing for decades, allowing certain repetitive tasks to be automated yet, for as powerful as automation is, replicating full human-like abilities is difficult to achieve. By incorporating AI with advanced robotics, a new level of flexible, adaptable, robotic systems can not only take on tasks previously limited to humans, but also support rapid product iteration and development in a way never before possible. In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined by Christopher Schuette, Senior Product Portfolio Manager for Robotics AI at Siemens Digital Industries to examine what it takes to build production ready Industrial AI solutions capable of operating complex machines under a variety of conditions. In the episode you’ll learn about: (2:12) Upgrading to AI-powered robotics (4:23) Building more dynamic robotics with AI (9:41) Training AI for the shop floor (12:58) Data needs for production ready AI About the voices: Christopher Schuette is the Senior Product Portfolio Manager for Robotics AI at Siemens Digital Industries Spencer Acain is a technical marketing writer for AI thought leadership at Siemens Digital Industries with a background in Applied Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering.
