Edge AI Technology Improves Wire Drawing Speeds – Up to 30% Faster on an Existing Line
Ailoys GmbH retrofits wire drawing machines with edge AI that evaluates acoustic and high-frequency process signals directly at the machine. Material conditions that can lead to wire breaks are detected before the wire breaks. On an existing line, one user achieved up to 30% higher drawing speed with 12% less die wear.
Most drawing lines at mid-sized manufacturers have run reliably for years but deliver hardly any process data. Drawing speed is therefore set so that even the worst section of the wire passes safely. That costs throughput on every meter that could be drawn faster without any problem. This is where the Berlin-based industrial AI company Ailoys comes in.
