Join the Vision AI Pilot Program for Indiana’s Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers

The Vision AI Pilot Program installs a fully functional AI-based vision system from ClearObject in the existing production operations of Indiana-based small and medium-sized manufacturers. It is run in collaboration with the Indiana IoT Lab and the Indiana University Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering to help Indiana SMBs fast-track adoption of Industry 4.0 technology.

What is the Vision AI Pilot Program?

The program installs a turnkey vision AI platform developed by ClearObject within your existing production operations, providing real-time insights and problem-solving capabilities.

What sets this program apart is the involvement of second-year graduate students from Indiana University’s Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering. These students are well-versed in data science, machine learning, and AI, having completed rigorous coursework and real-world projects during their first year of study. Their expertise will play a crucial role in ensuring the success of the Vision AI Pilot Program, offering manufacturers access to advanced knowledge and skills.

This partnership was built to fulfill the mission of providing a means by which SMB Manufacturers in the State of Indiana could cost-effectively adopt and deploy Industry4.0 emerging technologies, as well as, provide experiential learning for advanced, graduate students in Applied Data Sciences that will allow us to train and retain the highly-skilled workforce needed in the manufacturing environment of the future in the state of Indiana.

Why join the Vision AI Pilot Program?

You might wonder why it’s essential to be part of the Vision AI Pilot Program. The answer lies in the remarkable benefits that manufacturers who have embraced machine connectivity, edge and cloud-based computing, and AI-based analytics have witnessed. These benefits include operational efficiency enhancements, cost reduction, and improved product quality.

However, the adoption of these technologies among small and medium-sized manufacturers has been slower than expected. Through extensive IoT Roadshows across the state, the Indiana IoT Lab identified two common challenges:

1. Desire for Industry 4.0: Many manufacturers express a strong desire to initiate Industry 4.0 deployments but lack the readiness to act upon the data they collect.
2. Real-Time Analysis Assistance: Others are collecting data but need help with real-time analysis and meaningful utilization.

In response to these challenges, the Indiana IoT Lab is committed to expanding the adoption of digital tools among small and medium-sized manufacturers while creating a talent pipeline of data scientists ready to support Industry 4.0 initiatives.
