  • Publication number: 20240168470
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide a technique for commissioning an AI-based inspection system. In particular, the described embodiments provide a tool for field engineers to perform tasks including data collection, and training, testing and deployment of an AI algorithm, onsite, with instant feedback. The described tasks are carried out in the same physical environment to arrive at the same sensor setting that is then used by the field device on which the AI algorithm is deployed. Deployment cycle is significantly reduced. The technique leverages the recognition that inspection tasks in industrial settings are repetitive in nature and are carried out in a controlled environment, whereby the AI algorithm need not be generalized beyond the specific use case.
