【2021 Solutions】 Industry-university cooperation shows results. National Taiwan University of Science and Technology’s Artificial Intelligence Operations Management Research Center uses AI to assist enterprises in digital transformation.

In intelligent systems, AI plays a key role. In addition to cultivating professional AI talents, the Artificial Intelligence Operations Management Research Center of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology also actively conducts various project studies with enterprises to accelerate the implementation of industrial intelligence in Taiwan. One of the cases uses artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to use quality information for maintenance prediction and planning, which greatly improves equipment reliability and product quality. Using quality defect detection AOI technology can reduce the rate of missed defects.

Yu Wenhuang, director of the Artificial Intelligence Operations Management Research Center of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, observed that industry demand for AI is increasingly strong, and electronic manufacturing, finance, medical and other fields have greater development potential. On the one hand, the above-mentioned industries have a high degree of informatization, and automation products Online technology and the digital environment are mature and have the conditions for the development of AI technology; on the other hand, because the data required by the industrial environment has been retained, managed and used, it is easier to promote the application and solutions of AI technology when the concepts and data are available plan.

Quality defect detection AOI technology effectively reduces the wrong kill rate

For example, in the field of smart manufacturing, the team of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology's Artificial Intelligence Operations Management Research Center assisted Taiwan's major electronics manufacturers in constructing a production line equipment diagnostic system and building a sensing network architecture in the production line equipment at the manufacturing site to detect Measure and record the operating status of the machine. Through big data analysis, a warning can be issued when an abnormality occurs on the machine to remind the manager to schedule maintenance. We use the AOI quality defect detection process, combined with machine vision and deep learning technology, to detect defects in electronic parts and perform real-time control and monitoring to assist companies in developing automated optical inspection stations, surface defect algorithms, and management application functional services.

In the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) industry, quality defect detection technology is used for image identification, mainly for re-inspection after the initial inspection, and the original inspection results are designed to be re-inspected. When doing defect detection, ordinary factories often believe that "they would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go" and adopt the most stringent testing standards. With the current testing technology and process, it may cause excessive detection and waste the cost of good products. .

Lecturer Professor Cao Yuzhong, director of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology Artificial Intelligence Operations Management Research Center, said that the current flaw detection, AI model and algorithm construction and training of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology Artificial Intelligence Operations Management Research Center have achieved preliminary results. The center hopes to use images to The results of the identification can help companies quickly identify defects and quality status of products during the production process. After that, the next stage can start from the source, how to optimize parameters, improve behavior in the production process, and assist the factory to optimize the process. Better. During the product production process, the parameters of the machine equipment can be used to analyze machine data abnormalities and summarize different patterns for future maintenance and quality management to provide reference for enterprises in the application field.

The epidemic is the biggest catalyst for digital transformation for enterprises. Director Cao pointed out that the introduction of AI to promote digital transformation of enterprises is not necessarily just based on reducing costs or improving production efficiency, but must be based on the fundamental development goals and the essence of the problem. Process analysis, thinking about how to use AI or ICT technology to serve and meet process and customer needs. This process often requires breaking out of the existing framework to help companies reshape new operations and management models to effectively improve corporate performance.

The biggest challenge for enterprises introducing AI: improving customer trust

In the process of expanding AI industry-university cooperation, Yu Wenhuang believes that the biggest challenge is to enhance the trust of enterprises in you. For customers, a certain degree of trust is required before the Know-How of the production line can be communicated to you. Share and tell you where the focus of business is. In the absence of business trust, it is difficult for AI industry players to analyze the availability of processes and data. Enterprises usually consider two key points when choosing AI cooperation partners:

1. When cooperating with you, will the data and results be sold to others?

2. Will the cost of customization be too high? Although companies are less wary of academia, Director Yu still believes that gaining customer trust and jointly establishing sustainable AI innovation application capabilities and development goals are the key to The key factors for all ICT companies to face industrial customers and their ability to provide AI solutions.

Regarding the cultivation of AI talents, Yu Wenhuang also has his own unique insights. He observed that the education system from junior high schools, high schools to universities has driven the trend of AI. However, AI technology itself has many theoretical foundations and industrial knowledge that must be integrated. When talking about AI talent cultivation, we should first define how to construct a talent development system or route in the AI ​​field, what types of people are needed to introduce AI into the economic system, systematize talent positioning and characteristics, and let talents who are interested in investing in the AI ​​industry understand how to use their own The goal measures the types of AI skills and jobs that can be developed.

Secondly, it is to help companies that want to promote AI in a systematic way to understand, whether it is developing applications or building technical teams, how to measure the talent needs and technical blueprint corresponding to business goals. It not only plays the role of problem-solving, because AI It is just one of the ways to solve the problem. Only by assisting enterprises to establish innovative consciousness with AI R&D thinking can we truly implement industrial development, strengthen demand and promote both supply and demand at the same time, and accelerate the implementation of AI applications and talent cultivation.

【解決方案】瑕疵辨識率達百分百 耐銳利科技獲面板大廠青睞
Defect identification rate reaches 100%, Nairi Technology is favored by major panel manufacturers

On the machine tool production line, there are some slight differences in the first step of assembly Accumulated tolerances will cause the assembly work to be repeated, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in shipment delays that will impact the company's reputation Narili Technology Company focuses on the field of smart manufacturing and provides various AI solutions It uses machine learning models to inherit the experience of old masters In the CNC processing machine assembly and casting process, it uses AI to analyze production line data, accurately adjust various data, and improve Production accuracy is 25 This AI production line data analysis system is called "Master 40" by Huang Changding, chairman of Naruili Technology It is the most evolved version of the master plus artificial intelligence It has been used in machine tool processing factories with remarkable results In addition, Nairi Technology used AI defect detection technology to participate in the 2021 AI Rookie Selection Competition of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, assisting AUO in advanced panel image defect detection, with an accuracy rate of 100, and won the award Assisted panel manufacturer AUO to solve problems with 100 accuracy in defect detectionHuang Changding further explained that during the production of general panels, edges and corners are There may be defects in the corners Although the defects are visible to the naked eye, AOI is often difficult to identify, causing the detection error rate to often exceed 30 Therefore, re-inspection must be carried out with manpower to improve the accuracy rate However, in response to the demand for a small number of diverse products and insufficient manpower, using AI detection is indeed a good method Nairui Technology, founded in 2018, has been able to win the favor of major panel manufacturers with its AI technology in just three years In fact, it has been honed in the field of CNC machine tools for a long time Tang Guowei, general manager of Narili Technology, pointed out that the top three CNC machine tool factories in Taiwan hope to introduce AI into the two production lines of assembly and casting Among them, on the assembly line, in order to maintain the accuracy of assembly, every part of the component is designed Tolerances are designed During assembly, each component is within the tolerance However, the cumulative tolerance still fails the final quality inspection and must be dismantled and reassembled This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also causes waste "After entering the production line, I realized that some masters have accumulated a lot of experience and are good at adjustment After his adjustment, the accuracy rate has improved a lot and the speed is faster" On the contrary, the new engineers did not Based on experience, it takes a long time to adjust and may not pass the quality inspection The yield rate of Master 40 system has increased significantly from 70 to 95Tang Guowei then said that the original size data set by Master during assembly All were recorded on paper After the information was written, it was stored in the warehouse and sealed No one studied the relationship between the dimensions Narili assists customers in designing the Fu 40 system Through the human-machine panel, the master can directly input the measured dimensions and related data during assembly After collecting data from different masters, AI algorithms are used to analyze the relationship between the data and create an AI model The AI model automatically notifies the operator what size to adjust to, and the quality inspection will definitely pass In this way, the yield rate will be improved It has increased significantly from 70 to more than 95 Narili Technology Company focuses on the field of smart manufacturing and provides various AI solutionsTang Guowei added, assembling the spindle of a CNC processing machine It took four hours In the first step, the machine made measurement errors, including vibration, temperature, speed, etc that were out of range It had to be dismantled and reinstalled, which took another four hours How to adjust after disassembly depends on the experience of the master At first, the master may have done the best assembly method based on experience, but the error rate was also 30, and the assembly took several days With the assistance of AI masters, the assembly time only takes half a day, and the yield rate reaches over 95, saving a lot of time and manpower "Use the AI model of machine learning to collect the experience of all the masters and provide it for AI learning The first step is digitalization, and the second step is knowledgeization This is the transformation of the enterprise "An important key", Huang Changding believes that Narili Technology is an important partner in the transformation of traditional manufacturing from automated production to digital transformation In addition, another industry that Naili Technology focuses on is the smart car dispatching system of the leading brand of elevator manufacturers The so-called car dispatch referring to the elevator car means that if there are more than two elevators, group management is required In the past, car dispatching was based on fixed rules If the elevator was closer to the requested car, that elevator would be automatically dispatched On the one hand, it did not take into account that dispatching a car if the elevator was called too many times might make other people wait longer The previous vehicle dispatching model did not take into account the usage characteristics of the building, resulting in a lot of waste For example, in an office building, there are peak hours in the morning, lunch break, and afternoon after work AI smart car dispatch can be flexibly adjusted according to off-peak and peak hours, increasing the efficiency of car dispatch, reducing waiting time, and reducing wasted electricity Introducing elevator smart dispatch to improve transportation efficiency and have environmental protection functionsHuang Changding added that just like the previous traffic lights at intersections, the system has already The number of seconds to stop and pass on highways, sub-trunks and small streets is programmed Smart traffic lights are now used to flexibly adjust waiting times to make road sections prone to congestion smoother Using AI to learn usage scenarios and introducing a smart dispatch system into elevators will improve transportation efficiency and make it more environmentally friendly In addition to introducing smart elevator dispatching, Nairili also introduced AI into the smart production and shipment scheduling system of elevator factories Elevator factories often cannot accurately estimate the customer's elevator delivery date For example, office buildings or stores must be completed to a certain extent before the elevator can be installed on the construction site If affected by unexpected factors such as delays in the customer's construction period, the elevator factory will often be idle or the schedule will be difficult to arrange Tang Guowei pointed out that generally those who understand the progress of client projects may be from business or engineering, but overall, the accuracy rate of shipments is only about 60, which means that 40 of them will not be shipped as scheduled Therefore, if the shipping schedule can be accurately estimated, the production line can be freed up for emergency orders or other product production needs The AI smart scheduling system will analyze past shipment data, about 20-30 parameters such as climate, distance between the factory and the construction site, and customer credit, and put them into the AI algorithm to accurately predict whether shipments can be made as scheduled goods Huang Changding also specifically stated that the machine learning of Naili Technology is not ordinary machine learning, but also incorporates various calculation methods such as traditional image processing technology and statistics Only by being very familiar with the domain knowledge can we make good products AI models are also where the company’s competitiveness lies He emphasized that the data that general SaaS platforms can process is very limited, and the accuracy rate has increased from 70 to 75 at most Naili’s strength lies in AI algorithms and machine learning, and it must be coupled with in-depth industry knowledge to produce output Good AI model Narili Technology started with the AI project, gradually deepened the technology, chose to start with the more difficult tasks, and accumulated rules of thumb It is expected to develop SaaS services this year 2022, based on customer needs starting point, gradually gaining a foothold and becoming an important partner in smart manufacturing The picture left shows the general manager of Naruili Technology Tang Guowei and Chairman Huang Changding right「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」

AI Smart Health Prevention Plan

Herji Ltd held an interactive teaching session with AI storybooks at the 'Taiwan Early Childhood Development and Remedial Association Taitung Office', allowing children, teachers, and parents to engage in immersive educational experiences AI-generated children's educational storybook materials AI Learning Platform In recent years, changes in the social structure of Taiwan, combined with experiences in hospital emergency departments, have often led us to overlook the depressive symptoms exhibited by adolescents, resulting in tragic incidents of self-harm or even suicide among children A significant part of children's depression stems from their academic performance, with parents worrying about their children's future competitiveness, thus placing a lot of pressure on children who perform poorly academically In a family with two children with the same genetic background and provided with the same resources for growth, we often find that the second child's academic performance is not up to par, with poor grades, an inability to concentrate in class, and even lacking the patience and perseverance to finish reading a comic book or playing a video game We have been exploring why these differences occur and discovered that these issues often arise from undiagnosed learning disabilities during early childhood Due to environmental factors, children with delayed learning abilities are often not acknowledged by over 80 of parents who are reluctant to seek treatment for their children, primarily fearing that their child will be labeled as delayed As a result, the child's learning ability is hindered from an early age, with their academic struggles increasing as they enter primary and secondary school, leading to greater academic lag, frustration from parents, struggles from the child, and increased family disputes If tutoring does not yield effective results, expenditure without achieving positive outcomes often leads to further family conflicts, creating a vicious cycle that accumulates a lot of negative emotions in children during their developmental process, which in turn affects various factors impacting their health In reality, the main reasons behind a child's poor academic performance, inability to learn, lack of interest in learning new things, or even developing health-impacting psychological conditions, actually stem from accumulated learning delays during early childhood The period before the age of six is considered the golden window for treating learning delays If these can be identified and addressed during this time, there is a chance that the child's learning abilities can be greatly improved10The industry's current pain points are as follows 1Lack of methodologies for assessing learning abilitiesLack of databases for sample comparisons in the market 2Traditional parental misconceptionsFear of labeling and treatment delays for mild to moderate cases 3Lack of therapeutic materials and toolsShortage of therapeutic storybooks and series courses This project will develop a national talent development support system, utilizing AI Technological development of a system for assessing children's learning abilities that supports parents in safeguarding their children's health from the start of learning ability testing, offering early detection and treatment In the future, all Taiwanese children, regardless of background, will be able to establish a healthy foundation in early childhood, growing up to become valuable assets for national development 2、 As proposed in this planAIApplications and explanations 'Child Language Ability'AI'Analysis Model' This model quantitatively analyzes 'the condition of children's use of Mandarin' when 'expressing an event' Scenario Preschool teachers guide children in narrating storybook contentAITools analyze the sentences used by children to describe storybook content, applying statistical algorithms for quantitative analysis Analysis indicators include 'sentence type' and 'lexical items' Analysis aspects include correctness of sentence structures, diversity of vocabulary, quantity of vocabulary used, and accuracy of vocabulary usage Application Comparative analysis between an individual child and peers' language abilities can offer more detailed language skills teaching by preschool teachers Techniques used Chinese word segmentation, Chinese POS tagging, Chinese syntactic rules analysis algorithm, and quantitative analysis algorithms Tools usedChinese word segmentation tools, POS tagging toolsChinese POS Tagging Tool 3、 Expected Industrial Value Establish a learning ability assessment and support system, through therapeutic storybooks and courses Collaborate with kindergartens to develop learning ability bases, preventing children from being stuck at the starting point Alongside parents, protect children's health starting with learning ability testing, backed by a robust database, allowing parents to identify early any delays in learning, helping children regain their learning abilities 4、 Expected Industrial Benefits Economic Benefit and Future Spread and Impetus By supporting children with delayed learning abilities, enhancing their learning prowess through this project, these children serve as the future of our nation and can thus significantly contribute to national talent development Furthermore, the purpose of establishing a learning ability development base is to help reunite children with their parents, increasing their interaction time, allowing the children to move beyond mere one-dimensional interactions 3C This facilitates two-way interactions between the child and parents, potentially impacting children who may have been otherwise delayed in developing their capabilities due to environmental factors 「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-11-15」
