ABB to showcase first industrial artificial intelligence application using 5G wireless technology

ABB展示首個使用5G無線技術(shù)的工業(yè)人工智能應(yīng)用

June 17, 2019 - ABB is piloting an industrial artificial intelligence (AI) application using 5G wireless technology to support the assembly of drives at its plant in Pit?j?nm?ki, Helsinki. ABB is implementing the solution in partnership with mobile phone operator Telia and software engineering firm Atostek Oy, which specializes in industrial applications.

2019年6月17日——ABB正在使用5G無線技術(shù)測試工業(yè)人工智能（AI）應(yīng)用，以支持赫爾辛基Pit?j?nm?ki工廠的驅(qū)動器裝配。 ABB正在與手機運營商Telia和專注于工業(yè)應(yīng)用的軟件工程公司Atostek Oy合作實施該解決方案。

The AI application will support the plant’s workers by monitoring the assembly of the drives by camera and ensuring they are correctly assembled according to a customer’s order and applicable work instructions. The fast 5G connections will provide workers with real-time feedback and this should make assembly significantly easier than following work instructions from a paper document, thereby helping to improve quality.

AI應(yīng)用程序?qū)⑼ㄟ^攝像頭監(jiān)控驅(qū)動器的組裝，并確保它們根據(jù)客戶的訂單和適用的工作指令正確組裝，從而為工廠的工人提供支持。快速的5G連接將為工人提供實時反饋，這將使裝配比遵循紙質(zhì)文檔中的工作說明容易得多，從而有助于提高質(zhì)量。

Atostek is responsible for the computer vision and the AI application. Telia is providing the system’s 5G mobile connections and providing the computing capacity needed by the application in its data center. The project is being implemented in stages and will be in full-scale production in June 2019.

Atostek負責計算機視覺和AI應(yīng)用程序。Telia提供系統(tǒng)的5G移動連接，并在其數(shù)據(jù)中心提供應(yīng)用所需的計算能力。該項目正在分階段實施，將于2019年6月全面投產(chǎn)。

The application is being applied to the power module assembly line, which is critical to production quality and demanding for employees as dozens of different versions of the same product are assembled on the same line. 

該應(yīng)用正在應(yīng)用于電源模塊組裝線，這對于生產(chǎn)質(zhì)量至關(guān)重要，對員工的要求也很高，因為相同產(chǎn)品的許多不同版本在同一條產(chǎn)線上組裝。

5G enables wireless technology to be applied much more widely than has so far been possible and this is expected to significantly boost global production over the next few years. By introducing the 5G AI solution, ABB and its partners are exploring how industrial applications that require high data capacity and high computing power can be implemented in scalable form in the future, regardless of location. For example, the AI application could be integrated with enterprise resource planning systems.

5G使無線技術(shù)的應(yīng)用比迄今所能實現(xiàn)的要廣泛得多，這有望在未來幾年內(nèi)顯著提高全球產(chǎn)量。通過引入5G人工智能解決方案，ABB及其合作伙伴正在探索如何在未來以可擴展的形式實現(xiàn)需要高數(shù)據(jù)容量和高計算能力的工業(yè)應(yīng)用，而無論其位于何處。例如，AI應(yīng)用程序可以與企業(yè)資源規(guī)劃系統(tǒng)集成。

ABB’s drives plant in Helsinki is ABB’s leading unit in the development of low voltage drives. The plant has around 1300 employees. Globally, ABB’s drive business involves around 6,000 employees in a total of over 80 countries.

ABB在赫爾辛基的驅(qū)動器工廠是開發(fā)低壓驅(qū)動產(chǎn)品的領(lǐng)先單位。該工廠擁有約1300名員工。在全球范圍內(nèi)，ABB的驅(qū)動器業(yè)務(wù)涉及80多個國家的約6,000名員工。
