D6.6 AI-PROFICIENT validation methodology (final version)

This report is the final version of deliverable D6.1, and the aim is to provide a complete procedure and ways to validate the initially proposed methodology. This methodology intends to establish objective measurement criteria for the results obtained in the AI-Proficient project. These criteria will enable measuring the results obtained in the different use cases.

D2.3 Predictive AI analytics for component self-diagnostics (PDF)

This deliverable presents the advances made in the context of Work Package 2 Smart components and local AI at system edge that are related to the development of edge systems used for diagnosticate the assets in which they are embedded or run.

D2.4 Local AI for proactive maintenance support (PDF)

This deliverable presents the advances made in the context of Work Package 2 Smart components and local AI at system edge that are related to the development of edge systems used for the prognostics of the assets health in which they are embedded or run

D2.6 Smart components and local AI at system edge (PDF)

This deliverable is a public report that summarizes the activities and achievements reached at Work Package 2 within AI-PROFICIENT H2020 project. This WP has attempted to introduce local AI technologies at the system edge under the ‘smart component’ concept, close to the production lines, considering MEMS and PLCs information outputs. This differentiates from other technologies expected to work at ‘cloud’ level on most scenarios (and developed in other WPs).

D3.2 Predictive AI for process quality assurance (PDF)

This deliverable provides a brief description of how AI technologies are a relevant aspect to ensure the quality of the process and consequently the quality of the product in manufacturing processes. However, the deliverable is mainly focused on describing the algorithms for AI predictive analytics for specific use cases. This analysis has been based on the combination of specific knowledge of the processes, the historical data gathered from the monitoring of the processes and the use of ML algorithms.

D3.5 Future scenario-based decision making (PDF)

This deliverable is a public document of AI-PROFICIENT project delivered in the context of Task 3.5: Future scenario based decision-making and lifelong self-learning as a part of Work Package 3 Platform AI analytics and decision-making support, regarding the description of the AI-PROFICIENT service that aim providing life-long self/reinforcement-learning capabilities.

D5.4 Integration with AI4EU’s AI on-demand platform (PDF)

The deliverable describes AI-PROFICIENT’s actions in terms of Task 5.4 to align activities with the AI4EU platform. The Deliverable also presents the integration with AI-on-Demand platform to i) profit from software modules already available in the platform to download and integrate into AI-PROFICIENT, ii) contribute to the AI-on-Demand platform by submitting AI-PROFICIENT’s results to the platform and make them available for future initiatives to build upon and enhance.

D5.8 System integration and deployment (PDF)

The aim of this document is to provide the description of the activities in relation to system integration and deployment of AI-PROFICIENT platform. More specifically, it provides the summary of the main activities that have been performed in WP5.
