FIREVISOR

FireVisor Is Creating Self-Aware Factories. Manufacturing is a 17.2 trillion dollar industry, creates 21% of all jobs in the world, and is the central engine of global economic growth. But today’s factories are dumb. An army of human inspectors is needed to make sure no fault escapes the production line and an army of process control engineers constantly tweak and monitor machines. This is ridiculous, because the machines, on the other hand, produce an abundance of valuable data. However, the data is unused and simply gets discarded. It’s so much data that humans are not able to analyze it. We want to make use of the mass of data to make factories self-aware.
