AMP-AI EURECAT

Autonomous manufacturing process with artificial intelligence.

The AMP-AI project drives a solution that allows small and medium-sized industries to optimize online manufacturing processes using artificial intelligence (AI) and increase their efficiency, reducing energy consumption and raw material waste.

AMP-AI’s solution is based on a new methodology or pipeline of machine learning (ML) algorithms that run iteratively within the cycle time of the production process, combining optimal autonomous control agents and process modeling through AI-based surrogate models.

This solution requires a smaller volume of experimental data to create AI models of the process and optimal autonomous control of production, adapting to any kind of machine and model of any manufacturer.

AMP-AI helps many industries that do not optimize industrial processes online because acquiring all the solutions they would need is too expensive. This leads to the waste of raw materials and also greater energy consumption by having to repeat the manufacture of defective parts.

In this sense, the initiative represents a step forward with respect to current solutions, which are based on mathematical models and which work for a specific process and a specific machine. They are models that approximate the reality of the process, but are limited by the mathematical equations they use and cannot describe effects not foreseen in the model itself.

Eurecat leads the AMP-AI project through its Applied Artificial Intelligence Unit, responsible for developing new AI models for industrial process modeling and the development of optimal autonomous control agents.
