**Project AI-Connect** is a UK/Singapore collaboration that will deliver an **AI-based zero configuration, predictive maintenance system** for high precision manufacturing lines and stand-alone CNC machines.**The two main goals of Project AI-Connect are:**1. Record sensory information from manufacturing machines and AI will automatically discovers salient information from the real-time data stream and provides **predictive maintenance** advisory with **failure prevention control** for factory operations.2. **'Humanize'** **the AI and complex technology** to empower CNC machinists to perform at expert levels; in effect creating a dialog between machine and operator.There are **two main products** that this project will deliver:* **"AI-Connector/Advisor"** is an edge modular sensor relay that will securely deliver real-time information from CNC machines to the AI-Hub;* **"AI-Hub"** is an AI-enabled hub based on Planet's XR2 network appliance and custom firmware and applications. The AI-Hub also stores sensory information as well as AI data. AI-Hub provides predictive maintenance advice using GigEthernet, WiFi and 5G technology.There are **three** main innovations:1) "**Zero Config**" self-organisation between AI-Connector and AI-Hub in processing real-time signals from CNC machines;2) **Self-organizing AI algorithms** for extracting salient parameters from a specific CNC machine's sensory information;3)**AI Assistant** using human-centered artificial intelligence (**HCAI)** to interact and assist CNC machinists.The benefit to high precision manufacturing industry are numerous: 1) AI-Connect addresses the global shortage of expert human machinists. 2) It also empowers the average machinist to perform at the expert level with AI. 3) It increases productivity and reduce downtime cost 4) It contributes to ESG by allowing legacy machines to have an extended use and even a second life.**AI-Connect** is a collaboration between **Planet Computers Ltd** (UK high-value electronics and embedded systems manufacturer), **Grid\_Synergy** (Singaporean IT and media company) and the **Institute of Technical Education** (ITE) in Singapore. ITE (Singapore) will provide access to its **high-precision automated production line**, as well as an array of stand-alone **CNC machines** and access to **its newly installed private 5G network**. ITE will also provide experts in manufacturing. **Planet Computers** will provide its **XR2 AI network appliance** platform to act as the AI Hub and develop a new edge sensor relay module capable of GigEthernet, WiFi6 and 5G communications back to the AI Hub. Planet will also provide AI expertise for AI and real-time signal analysis. **Grid\_Synergy** will provide application development for mobile, visual and audio components of the solution, used for system monitoring, system control and machine operator advisory.

**Project AI-Connect** 是英国/新加坡的合作项目，将为高精度生产线和独立数控机床提供 ** 基于人工智能的零配置预测性维护系统 **。Project AI-Connect的两个主要目标是：**1.记录来自制造机器的传感信息，AI将自动从实时数据流中发现重要信息，并为工厂运营提供 ** 预测性维护 ** 咨询和 ** 故障预防控制 **。2. * 将人工智能和复杂的技术“人性化”****，使数控机械师能够在专家级别执行任务;实际上，在机器和操作员之间创建对话。该项目将提供 ** 两个主要产品 **：**“AI连接器/顾问”** 是一个边缘模块化传感器继电器，将安全地将实时信息从数控机床传递到AI集线器;* **“AI-Hub”** 是一款基于Planet XR 2网络设备和自定义固件和应用程序的支持AI的集线器。AI-Hub还存储感官信息以及AI数据。AI-Hub利用GigEthernet、WiFi和5G技术提供预测性维护建议，主要有 ** 三 ** 创新：1）在处理来自CNC机床的实时信号时，AI-Connector和AI-Hub之间的“**Zero Config**”自组织;2）** 自组织AI算法 **，用于从特定CNC机床的传感信息中提取突出参数; 3）**AI Assistant** 使用以人为中心的人工智能（**HCAI）** 与CNC机械师进行交互和协助。对高精度制造业的好处是多方面的：1）AI Connect解决了全球专业人类机械师的短缺问题。2)它还使普通机械师能够使用AI在专家级别执行任务。3)它提高了生产力并减少了停机成本4）它通过允许旧机器延长使用时间甚至延长第二次使用寿命来为ESG做出贡献。** AI-Connect** 是 **Planet Computers Ltd**（英国高价值电子和嵌入式系统制造商）、**Grid\_Synergy**（新加坡IT和媒体公司）和新加坡 **Institute of Technical Education**（ITE）之间的合作项目。ITE（新加坡）将提供其 ** 高精度自动化生产线 **，以及一系列独立的 ** 数控机床 **，并提供 ** 其新安装的专用5G网络 **。ITE还将提供制造业专家。**Planet Computers** 将提供其 ** XR 2 AI网络设备 ** 平台，作为AI Hub，并开发一种新的边缘传感器中继模块，能够进行GigEthernet，WiFi 6和5G通信。Planet还将为AI和实时信号分析提供AI专业知识。**Grid\_Synergy** 将为解决方案的移动的、视觉和音频组件提供应用程序开发，用于系统监控、系统控制和机器操作员咨询。
