Mitsubishi Electric Corporation claims to have developed the world's first diagnostic technology based on the company's proprietary Maisart artificial intelligence (AI) technology that uses machine learning to analyze sensor data and then generates a model of a production machine's transition between various operational states, thereby enabling the technology to detect machine abnormalities rapidly and accurately for improved productivity in factories and plants.
Unlike conventional diagnostic technology, which uses the same conditions for abnormality detection regardless of a machine's current operational state, the new AI technology analyzes sensor data and then uses the generated model to set optimal conditions for detecting abnormalities during each operation.
Signs of machinery failure can be detected accurately prior to actual breakdowns, helping to reduce the labor associated with performing maintenance and dealing with downtime in factories and plants. The new AI technology also eliminates complicated manual settings to simplify the introduction of abnormality-detection systems.
