Manfacturing
experience
Plank teams have built AI systems for manufacturing including defect detection, predictive maintenance, and process optimization - integrated with MES, SCADA, and ERP platforms.
Predictive Maintenance and Asset Optimization
- Built ML models using vibration, thermal, and control system data to predict equipment failures before downtime.
- Automated maintenance scheduling through anomaly detection and wear-pattern analysis.
- Developed diagnostic tools to surface root causes across machines, shifts, and production cycles.
Quality Control and Defect Detection
- Deployed real-time computer vision systems to inspect products for defects across multiple stations.
- Used AI to classify defect severity, reduce false positives, and maintain traceability by lot and machine.
- Continuously optimized inspection coverage and detection accuracy across varied SKUs.
Production Line Monitoring and Flow Optimization
- Analyzed line telemetry to identify bottlenecks, idle times, and yield variation.
- Developed AI agents to simulate line adjustments and recommend schedule or staffing changes.
- Provided real-time dashboards and predictive alerts to supervisors and floor managers.
Demand Forecasting and Supply Planning
- Built demand models using sales trends, lead times, seasonality, and external economic signals.
- Integrated AI planning engines to dynamically adjust procurement and production schedules.
- Enabled what-if simulations to test production scenarios and sourcing strategies.
Workforce Augmentation and Operator Guidance
- Delivered adaptive digital work instructions via AR, tablet, and kiosk interfaces.
- Used vision and sensor feedback to detect errors and guide operator corrections in real time.
- Tracked task performance over time to personalize training and improve skill progression.
Factory Systems Integration and Edge Infrastructure
- Integrated MES, SCADA, ERP, and sensor data streams into a unified, event-driven architecture.
- Deployed ML models to edge devices for latency-critical use cases, syncing to cloud for retraining.
- Maintained high uptime and traceability using secure access control, telemetry logging, and automated alerting.
