Factory IoT + AI Analysis
Support for smart factories,
from equipment visualization
through IoT and AI, to failure prediction.
Data is gathered from your factory equipment and visualized through IoT technology, and analyzed by AI. This service improves your business in terms of sales, customer satisfaction and cost, through improving your equipment uptime and enabling prevention of malfunctions.
Overview
KDDI’s Factory IoT is a unified solution that uses cloud-stored data from sensors installed on your factory production lines to enable not only real-time monitoring, but also data analysis, problem detection and error prediction.
Factory IoT with advanced AI analysis provides stable production line operation and advanced failure prediction, enabling 1. Increased production, 2. Faster and more stable product delivery and 3. Reduced repair and maintenance costs.
Through the basic functionality of the “visualization” course, as well as the “simple analysis” option and the more effective “advanced analysis (AI) option”, Factory IoT supports your creation of smart factories.
Manufacturing support through rich functionality
One of the paths forward given for the future of manufacturing is smarter manufacturing through utilization of IoT and robot technology. KDDI’s Factory IoT supports your manufacturing business with rich functionality and strong security.
Support for a wide variety of sensors, including those for vibrations, level, temperature, and flow
Internet communications are done with SSL, authentication is done with Basic or Digest, and access can be restricted by IP or domain
Data visualization, alert notifications, data storage and other features needed for an IoT solution.
Our simple analysis option and more advanced AI analysis option bring your smart factory plans to life.
Monitor your production lines with the Visualization course
The Factory IoT Visualization course is a solution aimed at production line monitoring. Using sensor data stored on a cloud, this course enables real-time production line monitoring and post-creation of reports.
* KDDI’s Factory IoT must be applied for to use.| Recorded data | Manage your past recorded data. Search functionality and graphing, as well as CSV file download. |
|---|---|
| Reports (forms) | Can output daily and monthly reports to Excel format. Can display total/average/max and min/hourly values. |
| Alert lines, Alert line events, Message events | E-mail alerts and external device restrictions (by sending HTTP/HTTPS commands) can be sent when sensors detect that specified threshold values have been passed. |
| Calculations | Calculations can be done per data item. On the cloud side, functions like “Y = aX - b” can be set up. |
Make the shift to smart factory more effectively
with these option features
Simple Analysis option
Creates an analysis model from data obtained from sensors. When the analysis model shows abnormalities in measured data, alert notifications are sent, allowing quick detection of approaching equipment failures.
What this option can do
- Create analysis models
- Send impending malfunction warnings when thresholds are exceeded
Advanced Analysis (AI) option
The created analysis model continually has its parameters tuned by AI depending on feedback provided by customers. As the analysis engine is improved, it becomes more accurate at predicting equipment failures.
What this option can do
- Create analysis models
- Update the models using AI (apply user feedback)
- Send impending malfunction warnings when thresholds are exceeded
