The potential for Machine Learning in Manufacturing is huge. High expectations exist not only in quality improvement of production line but also in new product/services generation. While many companies spend resources in understanding the new technology, it's becoming clear that there are challenges in analyzing time-series data from sensors and bringing solutions down to production level. In this session I will show how DataRobot solves these problems using on-site demo using manufacturing data.
