How does the combination of AI and sensors lead to more efficient and sustainable processes?

AI models are trained with large amounts of data. This data can be collected by sensors, such as thermal cameras, ultrasonic sensors, photocells, inductive sensors, radar sensors, LiDAR, vision camera`s and motion sensors. By combining AI models with sensors, the amount of data needed to train a model can be reduced. This is because the sensors collect the raw data, which can then be used to train and continue to train the AI model as data continues to come in.
Here are five examples of how AI and sensors are combined:
Sensor Partners, as a specialist in industrial sensing and measurement issues, has a focus on the first 3 of the above categories.
Here are some of the benefits of combining AI with sensors:
The combination of AI and sensors is a rapidly evolving field. As AI technologies continue to evolve, we will see new and innovative ways to combine AI and sensors to improve the world around us.
Waste fires resulting from fire and scalding are an urgent and growing problem affecting both the waste management industry and society at large. These fires are caused by uncontrolled heat generation and ignition of waste materials, resulting in serious damage to infrastructure, environmental pollution and safety risks to both workers and local residents.
When a themographic camera detects a hot spot, alarms would normally go off immediately. "Detecting a hotspot is not rocket-science," said Ron van Sambeek, Manager of Thermal at Sensor Partners. "The trick is to detect the real hotspot among all the false positives that are already naturally present."
When the fire and broth detection system detects an increase in temperature, it uses AI (algorithms) to determine whether to initiate an alarm. This prevents the alarm from going off at hot spots other than an actual source of scalding or fire. For example, consider the exhaust of a passing vehicle; it radiates heat and could trigger the alarm system.
Machine vision is the use of computers and cameras to process and understand visual information, which is often applied in industrial automation for inspection, measurement and control. AI can no longer be ignored in these applications.
The combination of AI and sensors has the potential to have a major impact on the world around us. By collecting and analyzing data from the physical world, AI can help make better decisions, solve problems and create new products and services. Sensor Partners specializes in industrial detection and measurement issues. Are these also issues that concern you? We are happy to discuss this with you.
Combining AI with sensors is a powerful tool that can be used to perform a wide range of tasks. However, there are some challenges associated with this technology. By addressing these challenges, we can maximize the capabilities of AI models.
