A large investment in a piece of capital machinery and, in theory, it could run 24 hour a day for seven days a week at its optimum Speed. If it did this you gain the maximum value from the investment. In reality there is number of element that can affect the value gained from the investment. So that fully utilization of equipment can be done. Hence for fully utilization of any equipment any firm must have to calculate OEE. This paper represents the methodology applied in increasing the OEE of an Organization by exchanging the feed mechanism from a conveyor to a Chute system.

This presentation discusses the operating curve management for the productivity improvement. The OCM is pioneered by IBM and adapted by many semiconductor companies. It is intended for wafer fab operation, but is applicable to any manufacturing operation. It is not merely a theory, but has been put into practice in many factories with visible results. When it is used with other management and productivity improvement techniques, such as Hoshin or Kanban or Just in time system, the result is even better. It is a very flexible system, but requires a lot of work in both hardware and software system for the implementation. It addresses issues and solutions at equipment level, operator level, engineering level, materials flow, and overall management.

In this talk, Bhattacharyya explores methods to transform large deep neural network (DNN) models into effective compact models. The transformation process that he focuses on—from large to compact DNN form—is referred to as pruning. Pruning involves the removal of neurons or parameters from a neural network. When performed strategically, pruning can lead to significant reductions in computational complexity without significant degradation in accuracy. It is sometimes even possible to increase accuracy through pruning. Pruning provides a general approach for facilitating real-time inference in resource-constrained embedded computer vision systems. Bhattacharyya provides an overview of important aspects to consider when applying or developing a DNN pruning method and presents details on a recently introduced pruning method called NeuroGRS. NeuroGRS considers structures and trained weights jointly throughout the pruning process and can result in significantly more compact models compared to other pruning methods.

With the boom in tools for developing, monitoring and maintaining ML models, data science teams have many options to choose from. Proprietary tools provided by cloud service providers are enticing, but teams may fear being locked in—and may worry that these tools are too costly or missing important features when compared with alternatives from specialized providers. Fortunately, most proprietary, fee-based tools have an open-source component that can be integrated into a home-grown solution at low cost. This can be a good starting point, enabling teams to get started with modern tools without making big investments and leaving the door open to evolve tool selection over time. In this talk, Patel presents a step-by-step process for creating an MLOps tool set that enables you to deliver maximum value as a data scientist. He shares how Yummly built pipelines for model development and put them into production using open-source projects.

As AI is increasingly integrated into various industries, concerns about its potential to reproduce or exacerbate bias have become widespread. While the use of AI holds the promise of reducing bias, it can also have unintended consequences, particularly in high-stakes computer vision applications such as facial recognition. However, even seemingly low-stakes computer vision applications such as identifying potholes and damaged roads can also present ethical challenges related to bias. This talk explores how bias in computer vision often poses an ethical challenge, regardless of the stakes involved. Kennedy discusses the limitations of technical solutions aimed at mitigating bias, and why “bias-free” AI may not be achievable. Instead, she focuses on the importance of adopting a “bias-aware” approach to responsible AI design and explores strategies that can be employed to achieve this.
