Our startup is seeking a skilled AI engineer to develop a predictive maintenance solution for our 3D printing machinery. By leveraging AI and machine learning, we aim to minimize downtime, optimize performance, and extend the lifespan of our expensive equipment. The project involves using advanced computer vision and predictive analytics to monitor and predict equipment failures in real-time.

📋Project Details

As a growing startup in the 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing industry, we face significant challenges with equipment downtime and maintenance costs. Our project aims to develop an AI-driven predictive maintenance solution tailored to our 3D printing machinery. We require a comprehensive system that utilizes computer vision to monitor equipment health, predictive analytics to forecast potential failures, and NLP to analyze maintenance logs for insights. The project will involve deploying machine learning models using TensorFlow or PyTorch, with integration into our existing systems via an efficient API. We envisage using the OpenAI API for NLP capabilities to process and analyze maintenance documentation, and YOLO for real-time computer vision applications. The solution will provide alerts and recommendations, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing operational disruptions. This project is critical as unexpected equipment failures lead to substantial productivity losses and increased costs. The successful implementation of this predictive system is expected to significantly improve our operational efficiency and competitiveness.
