Schneider Electric selected Amazon Cloud Technologies as the preferred provider of cloud and machine learning service providers to build a smart factory

Schneider Electric implements AI-enabled automated detection to improve factory efficiency, with a false detection rate of less than 0.5% and a missed detection rate of 0%.

BEIJING, Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Amazon Cloud Technologies today announced that Schneider Electric, a digital transformation expert in global energy management and automation, has selected Amazon Cloud Technologies as its preferred provider of cloud and machine learning services to support its intelligent industrial vision quality inspection solution in China – the "Cloud-Edge Collaborative AI Industrial Vision Inspection Platform." Leveraging Amazon Cloud Technologies' extensive and in-depth cloud services, including machine learning, databases and computing services, Schneider Electric implements data storage and annotation and model training in the cloud, and distributes cloud models to the edge side of the production line to perform edge inference. The solution was the first to be launched at Schneider Electric's Wuhan plant, significantly improving the detection efficiency of the production line, reducing the false detection rate by less than 0.5%, and achieving zero missed detection rate.

In terms of leading the application of intelligent production technology, Schneider Electric Wuhan factory has been rated as "lighthouse factory" by the World Economic Forum, is the global benchmark as the world's first pilot factory of Schneider Electric EcoStruxure architecture and platform, Wuhan factory has completed digital upgrading, achieved a high degree of automation, optimized production and operation processes, and improved energy efficiency to a new level, is Schneider Electric's internal certification of "net zero carbon factory" and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology certified "green factory" By adopting this efficient inspection solution, Schneider Electric's Wuhan facility further standardizes manufacturing processes, saving time and costs while ensuring that all products meet the company's stringent quality standards.

At present, more and more manufacturing companies hope to gain a competitive advantage by improving efficiency, achieving sustainability and improving product quality, the demand for smart factories in the global manufacturing industry is rising In order to further optimize the manufacturing process of smart factories, Schneider Electric chose Amazon Cloud Technology and its partner Zhongke Chuangda to build intelligent industrial visual quality inspection solutions With its deep accumulation in the field of green intelligent manufacturing, Schneider Electric successfully landed AI technology in the industrial scene. Further improving the level of automation and digitalization On the basis of the successful deployment of the Wuhan factory, Schneider Electric will deploy solutions based on Amazon Cloud Technology Machine Learning Services in more than a dozen other factories in China, further driving the digital transformation of China's manufacturing industry.

Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Cloud Technology Machine Learning Service, helps developers and data scientists quickly build, train, and deploy machine learning models. With Amazon SageMaker, Schneider Electric is able to successfully and accurately build machine learning models adapted to real-world manufacturing scenarios, identifying complex defects in products through automated industrial visual inspection by comparing product images from production lines with standard samples of qualified products.

Amazon Cloud Technologies' Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) service helps customers set up, operate, and scale relational databases in the cloud. The solution uses industrial cameras to capture images of products on the production line, storing the positive sample image index of each product in Amazon RDS for the Amazon SageMaker engine to invoke to implement inference calculations.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly secure, reliable, and scalable way for containers to run. Schneider Electric uses Amazon ECS to easily deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications, enabling easy deployment and management of machine learning models in containers on devices on the edge of the production line.

Compared with self-built data centers, Schneider Electric chose Amazon Cloud Technologies' cloud services for greater scalability, agility and efficiency Amazon Cloud Technologies is able to automatically detect the required workloads based on industrial vision, providing and expanding the cloud computing resources required by customers.

Gu Jun, Vice President of Supply Chain Performance and Digitalization at Schneider Electric China, said: "Amazon Cloud Technology is helping us accelerate our digital transformation journey AI Industrial Vision Inspection Platform shows how to innovate through the use of advanced cloud services such as machine learning to greatly improve factory efficiencyWe look forward to sharing intelligent industrial vision quality inspection solutions with more manufacturing companies around the world in the future"

Shen Tao, General Manager of Amazon Cloud Technologies China International Customer and Partner Ecosystem Business Unit, said: "Schneider Electric is introducing world-leading cloud technology into the supply chain to improve product quality and operational efficiency As Schneider Electric's preferred cloud and machine learning service provider, we are pleased to support Schneider Electric's smart factory to automate the quality inspection process and improve quality control To help Schneider Electric achieve intelligent manufacturing with cloud technology and create a smarter production line."
