ソニーグローバルマニュファクチャリング&オペレーションズ List of Products and Services

We detect signs of failure in rotating equipment (motors, pumps, compressors) of production facilities from sensor data, reducing downtime caused by maintenance work. This system has also been implemented and is operational in the production and infrastructure equipment of Sony Group's manufacturing plants. Additionally, it is possible to verify whether failure prediction can be achieved using data that customers already possess. 【Features】 - The system learns from data using AI models to detect signs of equipment failure. - Customers do not need to set detection levels (thresholds). With our technology, you can start monitoring operations simply by setting a learning period, without the need for threshold settings. - Even when multiple similar types of equipment are in operation, a single AI model can identify each device and perform failure prediction. We will work closely with our customers regarding implementation and operation, so please feel free to contact us.
