Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) play an increasingly essential role in the automation industry. Countless networked devices generate enormous data streams. Their evaluation leads to new business opportunities. For this, identifying the relevant data and being able to define the relationship between them is a prerequisite. This requires the human factor and in-depth knowledge of the functionality of technical systems.
Our approach to successful data analytics and AI projects
With Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, M&M Software complements the existing offerings in the Cloud and IoT areas. The subjects of Data Integration and Data Management have already been successfully addressed in the past within the framework of customer projects. For the development of AI projects, M&M relies on services from Microsoft as well as proven algorithms and frameworks from the Open Source environment.

The AI offer of M&M covers all phases in Data Analytics projects: From data collection and management, visual and explorative data analysis, the application of classical machine learning methods or new AI algorithms to the integration of data analytics in software products or the operation in the Cloud, on-premise or on edge.
With the AI service offer from M&M, individual solutions are created in the following areas, and others:
Operation and Service Management
Increase asset efficiency and visibility with robust, meaningful management dashboards and reports that can be used as the backbone for future forecasting.
Chatbot and Voice Control
Smart add-ons for software solutions, such as machine/device visualizations, mobile or cloud apps ensure better usability and interaction possibilities for the user.
Component and Spare Part Recognition
Recognition processes based on deep learning or mobile recognition systems (cell phone app) ensure quick and correct selection of components and spare parts. This allows processes to run with more efficiency and to save time and money.
Quality Assurance by Optical Inspection
Edge solutions for the evaluation of on-site collected data enable high error detection rates through machine learning algorithms. Coupled detailed analyses and continuous learning of the stored algorithms lead to continuous process improvements.
Technical Facility Management
With the help of edge devices, data from video management and surveillance systems is pre-processed, analyzed in the Cloud and refined with self-learning algorithms. This offers not only the possibility to detect and predict future events, but also to counteract them by automatically initiating suitable complex processes.
Anomaly Detection
Based on deep process and data understanding, we implement data validation and outlier detection to identify data patterns.
