Develop an AI-based predictive maintenance system for steel manufacturing equipment to enhance operational efficiency and reduce downtime. Utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning technologies, the project aims to predict equipment failures before they occur, ensuring smooth production processes.

📋Project Details

Our company, a growing SME in the Steel & Metals industry, seeks to implement a predictive maintenance system leveraging AI & Machine Learning technologies. The objective is to employ predictive analytics to foresee equipment failures, thus minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. This project will utilize cutting-edge technologies such as predictive analytics and computer vision, integrated with LLMs and AutoML to analyze vast streams of operational data and identify patterns that indicate potential failures. Key technologies like TensorFlow and PyTorch will be employed for model training, while OpenAI API and Hugging Face will facilitate natural language processing for system alerts and reports. Additionally, computer vision, implemented via YOLO, will monitor equipment in real-time, identifying anomalies in operation. The project will span 12-16 weeks, focusing on integrating these tools into a cohesive system that delivers actionable insights to maintenance teams. Targeting medium urgency, this initiative is crucial for maintaining competitive advantage by ensuring uninterrupted production and reducing costs associated with unplanned downtime. Our market analysis indicates a strong demand for such solutions, driven by industry-wide pressure to optimize operations and maximize equipment lifespan.
