    ME512/NIMSI Seminar- Dr. Jay Lee

    McCormick - Mechanical Engineering

    3:00 PM B224, Technological Institute

    EVENT DETAILS

    Center Industrial Big Data and Industrial AI for Resilient Manufacturing and Service Systems

    Industrial AI, Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Cyber Physical Systems are changing the way we design
    product, manufacturing, and service systems. It is clear that as more sensors and smart analytics software are
    integrated into networked industrial products, manufacturing, and maintenance systems, predictive technologies can
    further learn and autonomously optimize productivity and performance.This presentation will give an introduction
    about industrial big data and industrial AI for smart resilient machines and manufacturing operations, as well as smart
    service transformation. First, an overview of digital transformation in different industries will be given, and
    fundamental issues on data quality and systematic machine learning will be addressed. In addition, methodologies in
    applying industrial AI in large-scale industrial systems will be introduced with case studies. Finally, research issues on
    digital twins for high performance and real-time data analytics in future predictive manufacturing and maintenance will
    be discussed.
    Dr. Jay Lee is Vice Chairman and Board Member of Foxconn Technology Group. Prior to this position, he served as
    Vice Chairman of Foxconn Industrial Internet. Currently, he is on leave from the Univ. of Cincinnati where he holds
    the Ohio Eminent Scholar and L.W. Scott Alter Chair Professorship . He is the founding director of the National
    Science Foundation (NSF) Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) on Intelligent Maintenance
    Systems and is also the Founding Director of the Industrial AI Center. Previously, he served as senior advisor to
    McKinsey & Company. Before his academic career, he served as Director for Product Development and
    Manufacturing at United Technologies Research Center and as Program Directors for a number of programs at NSF.
    He was selected as 30 Visionaries in Smart Manufacturing in by SME in 2016 and 20 most influential professors in
    Smart Manufacturing in June 2020. His new book on Industrial AI was published by Springer in 2020.
