To support their mutual goal of manufacturing quality parts, Toyota Industries and Siemens have cooperated to develop artificial intelligence (AI) that can predict product abnormalities in aluminium die casting, a key process in the production of automotive air conditioning compressor components. The development is one of the world’s first to use defect prediction AI for die casting. It improves quality and productivity by exploiting the AI application in Industrial Edge, the Siemens edge computing platform for industry. The initiative is an innovative example of digital transformation in manufacturing, and Toyota Industries aims to use it to further develop its technology and incorporate it into production plants in Japan and overseas. Siemens hopes that more businesses in the manufacturing industry will adopt their digitalization and automation solutions such as Industrial Edge.
