Artificial Intelligence – FabLab

Artificial Intelligence / FabLab

Predictive Maintenance Assistant

KODA AUTO is increasingly relying on AI applications to digitise all of its business areas. At the FabLab, the laboratories of the PSZ – Central Technical Service department, they work in various groups on the development and implementation of appropriate innovative technologies. As they also specialise in projects using AI and Industry 4.0 solutions, they are now testing how image comparison could help with predictive maintenance. They were inspired by the project that currently helps to identify and report free parking spaces in Mladá Boleslav plant. “Analysing free parking spaces is just one of many possible uses of AI technology. We also test how efficiently the system works prior to using the same principle for predictive maintenance on production lines. We are also working on a number of other ideas, as artificial intelligence will gain ground on all levels of ŠKODA AUTO in the future”, says Miroslav Kroupa, head of PS – Brand Management. The PSZ employees are currently analysing the conditions under which they could use the system. When comparing the actual condition of machines and systems with the requirements, the system could very soon detect that it cannot do without maintenance or repair. ED
