Title: Factory 5.0: ML-Powered Manufacturing Workshop 

Date: Thursday, November 18, 2021

Time: 8:00 am PST/ 4:00 pm UTC

Duration: 120 minutes
 

SUMMARY

This live two-hour workshop is hosted by Arduino PRO’s enterprise-class hardware and Edge Impulse, the world’s leading embedded ML platform for the enterprise. This workshop caters to professionals who are seeking to learn how to build AI-powered solutions for manufacturing processes.

Paying participants will receive an official Edge Impulse certificate signed by the CEO, which will be mailed to every registrant who attends and completes the workshop. 

Overview:
Smart Industry is here and it's helping almost every industry do a lot more with a lot less. From logistics, manufacturing, automotive, retail, oil & gas, pharma, to medicine, companies can start the process of digitization step by step just using the visual data they have accumulated via cameras, advanced MCUs, and machine learning. Such AI-powered systems can provide more than just accurate results but can help humans get more done, eliminating mundane and repetitive tasks. 

Sample use cases that can be applied to most other industries:

  • Learn how to apply computer vision to determine counterfeit 
  • Scan for defective goods during the packaging processes
  • Use machine vision to find objects or humans in restricted areas
  • Use computer vision for quality control of pests in agriculture
  • Apply computer vision for maintaining security perimeters
  • Deploy AI to control the goods on the shelves of the supermarket

Hardware:
Core Board: Arduino Portenta H7 Lite
Vision Shield: Arduino Portenta Vision Shield - Ethernet
