All about Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence takes many forms. People are capable of processing information in a way that has yet to be duplicated by computers. Some programmers develop AI as a challenge, attempting to mimic human behavior or responses. These trials have produced interesting results, but not practical ones. A computer’s ability to interact with people on a personal level or to decipher visual cues is still rudimentary at best.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) software for production scheduling is designed to optimize the schedule based on multiple requirements, or constraints. AI can also be applied to closed loop manufacturing, or process optimization. This closed loop production optimization compares goals to actual production runs. Algorhythms analyze which past runs come closest to meeting goals for a current production run and present the best process settings for the current job.
Artificial Intelligence software systems help manufacturers improve and stream line processes and production, ultimately improving their bottom line.
Although some human behavior is very difficult to simulate, software has advantages over human capabilities when it comes to thought patterns such as cause/effect planning. Computers programmed to play strategic games such as chess have been quite successful. It’s not that the computer is “smarter” than it’s human opponent, it just has the ability to foresee millions of consequences of it’s choices within minutes. Only a handful of people possess this skill. A similar skill is needed to arrange optimal production schedules. This is one area in which Artificial Intelligence offers a practical application. But very few companies offer software with AI for commercial purposes. The reason for this is that very few software engineers are capable of programming the genetic algorithms that are integral to software intelligence. Also, it is almost impossible to create one AI routine that will be relevant for different types of companies. Due to it’s nature, AI needs to be written for a specific purpose, not as a generic functionality. This prevents software companies from selling one piece of software thousands of times as they usually do. As a result, only a few companies offer Artificial Intelligence for business purposes.
