AI is driving significant transformation in manufacturing. At the heart of this is computer vision – a field of AI that trains computers to interpret and understand the visual world. But what does this mean for manufacturers?
Moving beyond the conceptual stage, computer vision is a practical tool in manufacturing, creating smart factories that are more efficient, less wasteful and far more adaptable than traditional predecessors. By equipping machines with the ability to‘ see’, companies are unlocking unprecedented levels of quality control, automation and predictive insight.
How Volkswagen scales up with AWS Volkswagen Group is deep into exploring this avenue of industrial evolution. By working with Amazon Web Services( AWS), the automotive giant is scaling its Industrial Computer Vision( ICV) platform, built on AWS, across 43 of its global factories to enhance efficiency and quality in its production processes.
Before collaborating with AWS, Volkswagen faced the problem of isolated IT systems, which hindered its ability to deploy innovations rapidly and uniformly. To maintain its competitive edge and drive its ambition to become a global automotive tech driver, the company needed a way to centralise and scale its artificial intelligence and computer vision initiatives.
