AutoNDE, FFS_ASSESS
For several years now SML (Sound Mathematics Ltd.) has been developing AutoNDE, a unique explainable AI for interpreting data collected with a linear PAUT (Phased Array of Ultrasonic Transducers). AutoNDE has been designed to characterise cracks and extent of corrosion, relying on a modification of a widely used signal processing algorithm TFM (Total Focusing Method) and innovative approach to taking into account surface undulations - the main source of error. The AI module of AutoNDE is a Decision Tree, which utilises OpenCV image processing algorithms and mimicks thought processes of human inspectors. As all decision trees it relies on "if ... then" rules and therefore, produces explainable results.

VIOLET AI
VIOLET AI is a smart system that uses cameras and sensors to capture the actions and outcomes of your assembly workers. It can detect any defects or errors in the production process, missed steps/parts and/or misalignment for example. It can also alert the workers and supervisors of any issues and highlight corrective actions in real-time.
VIOLET AI will also record the best practices of your skilled workers to ensure your standard working procedures (SWPs) are always followed with the related footage being available to train new or less experienced staff. This way, you can ensure that your workers are following the same quality standards to reduce rework/waste in production.
VIOLET AI also generates a digital DNA of each part or assembly that you produce, which contains information such as the date, time, location, worker ID, defect rate, etc. This data can be used for traceability and compliance purposes, as well as providing Root Cause Analysis (RCA) data at your fingertips to improve processes and provide reassurance to your customers

Digital Transformation (1)
Digital transformation represents the opportunity for businesses to think and operate like digital companies in the way they engage their customers, empower their employees, optimize their operations and transform their products.
Companies that are doing this are seeing strong results: reduced overhead, conservation of resources, increased profits, and optimized operational efficiencies.
For those businesses that can successfully disrupt and differentiate, the potential is remarkable.
The Microsoft Power platform will play a major part in helping your organisation achieve digital transformation. The Power Platform is key to building and implementing better solutions for your organisation as it is tightly integrated with the other aspects of your Office 365 platform such as Teams and SharePoint and countless 3rd party solutions.
Intelligent Decisioning have been creating low-code apps since the platforms initial release in 2018. Since then, we have developed digital forms and automated processes for organisations of all shapes, sizes and locations.
These digital applications are made up of digital forms and automated processes. The applications are typically built to each organisations individual needs as it’s this individual approach to business that makes the organisation successful.
The use of digital forms means less paper, less waste, less confusion and an improved environmental impact which is a major consideration of modern business. The automating of business processes frees up your staff from their routine work and enables them to do tasks of higher business value which increases your organisations bottom line.
