Industrial Machine Learning

Understand the industrialization of machine learning (ML) and take the first steps toward identifying and generating the transformational disruptors of artificial intelligence (AI). You will learn to apply ML to data lakes in various industries, supplying data professionals with the advanced skills required to handle the future of data engineering and data science. Data lakes currently generated by worldwide industrialized business activities are projected to reach 35 zettabytes (ZB) as the Fourth Industrial Revolution produces an exponential increase of volume, velocity, variety, variability, veracity, visualization, and value. Industrialization of ML evolves from AI and studying pattern recognition against the increasingly unstructured resource stored in data lakes. Industrial Machine Learning supplies advanced, yet practical examples in different industries, including finance, public safety, health care, transportation, manufactory, supply chain, 3D printing, education, research, and data science. The book covers: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, evolutionary computing principles, soft robotics disruptors, and hard robotics disruptors. What You Will Learn Generate and identify transformational disruptors of artificial intelligence (AI) Understand the field of machine learning (ML) and apply it to handle big data and process the data lakes in your environment Hone the skills required to handle the future of data engineering and data science Who This Book Is For Intermediate to expert level professionals in the fields of data science, data engineering, machine learning, and data management

Max Hoffmann describes the realization of a framework that enables autonomous decision-making in industrial manufacturing processes by means of multi-agent systems and the OPC UA meta-modeling standard. The integration of communication patterns and SOA with grown manufacturing systems enables an upgrade of legacy environments in terms of Industry 4.0 related technologies. The added value of the derived solutions are validated through an industrial use case and verified by the development of a demonstrator that includes elements of self-optimization through Machine Learning and communication with high-level planning systems such as ERP. About the Author: Dr.-Ing. Max Hoffmann is a scientific researcher at the Institute of Information Management in Mechanical Engineering, RWTH Aachen University, Germany, and leads the group “Industrial Big Data”. His research emphasizes on production optimization by means of data integration through interoperability and communication standards for industrial manufacturing and integrated analysis by using Machine Learning and stream-based information processing.
