ficonTEC Service GmbH of Achim, Germany, and Adapdix Corporation of Pleasanton, CA (USA,) announced that they have entered into a strategic agreement to implement Adapdix’ EdgeOps™ platform technology within ficonTEC’s advanced photonics production systems. With the integration of an AI / Machine Learning layer to monitor, predict and appropriately adapt operation-critical process steps, overall system reliability and performance can be improved, thus creating a further level of sophistication and differentiation for ficonTEC’s machine systems, the companies said
EdgeOps is described by Adapdix as a market-leading AI/ML platform and software engine that works by tapping into the wealth of data generated by ficonTEC’s comprehensive software control interface, Process Control Master (PCM). PCM automatically logs real-time positional, vibrational, environmental and physical/optical performance data for all system modules and customer process steps; this data is then utilized by the EdgeOps software to perform predictive analytics designed to realize the full potential of this data for optimization purposes.
