Artificial Intelligence
Among the new technologies being implemented for predictive maintenance are IoT (connecting sensors and devices that offer real-time data), advanced data analytics (based on large volumes of data), and Artificial Intelligence.
This last concept refers to machine learning and predicting changes, either by detecting failures in a series of patterns or being able to alert about future failures in the system.
Its application extends to multiple and diverse sectors (from healthcare to finance, transportation, or industry), and it is essential to differentiate between different types of artificial intelligence:
Systems that think like humans. In this case, they automate actions and activities such as decision-making or learning. An example of these are artificial neural networks.
Systems that act like humans. Robots. They are computers that perform tasks similarly to a human.
Systems that think rationally. They attempt to mimic human logical and rational thinking. Research is focused on enabling machines to perceive, reason, and act accordingly.
Systems that act rationally. Intelligent agents. These are systems that aim to rationally emulate human behavior.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence
AI has various applications, but the most common areas where we can find it are as follows:
1. Personal and Virtual Assistance: Interactive chatbots can suggest products, restaurants, hotels, and a myriad of services based on our preferences and usual searches.
2. Finance: AI can help prevent fraud, predict market situations, or advise users and clients on operations.
3. Education: It allows creating personalized offers to optimize students’ learning.
4. Commerce: Thanks to AI, sales forecasts can be made, and appropriate products can be recommended to customers.
5. Environment: In this sector, numerous opportunities exist, from creating smart buildings that reduce energy consumption to fleets of drones capable of planting hundreds of trees to combat deforestation.
6. Agriculture: Predictive maintenance can improve agricultural performance and warn of potential adverse environmental impacts.
7. Logistics and Transportation: Capable of avoiding collisions or traffic jams and optimizing traffic flow.
8. Healthcare: Again, chatbots can be of great help in diagnosing after asking about our symptoms. Additionally, data collection generates patterns that help experts identify genetic patterns susceptible to developing a disease.
