Prevention is cheaper than cure

Ruslan Suleimanov, Strategic Director for IT, Products and Services at PRO32, a developer of antivirus solutions, believes that preventing incidents in production using AI solutions algeria whatsapp resource is much more profitable than eliminating their consequences. "An incident is usually an event with negative consequences, which involves an unscheduled termination of the provision of a service or a decrease in its quality. This always means losses, expenses, and sometimes, if we are talking about technological accidents, even human casualties. Of course, we must try our best to prevent incidents, regardless of the type of systems in which this occurs. AI can impartially and clearly detect signs of upcoming incidents if it is based on a neural network trained on suitable typical incidents. Unlike a regular human operator, such AI can work tirelessly 24/7, monitoring the occurrence of matches of the necessary parameters with models of typical incidents and warning in advance about the risk of incidents, preventing and minimizing damage from them," said Ruslan Suleimanov.

According to him, the disadvantages of AI solutions for predicting malfunctions are related to the fact that AI built on the basis of neural networks and trained on typical incidents and their signs may not detect signs of an upcoming incident that go beyond the models on which it was trained. "If the system is characterized by non-recurring incidents that cannot be included in the framework of the model, then the AI ​​may miss such non-standard signs. At any technically complex facilities, except for hardware and software monitoring and control systems, there are always live operators who can back up the AI ​​and make a decision on non-standard parameters that go beyond the usual model," noted the strategic director for IT, products and services at PRO32.

Not only in factories

Dinar Mulyukov, head of the public sector group at Innostage, a Russian developer and integrator of services and solutions in the field of digital security, added that AI allows for real-time detection of deviations from the norm and their elimination, and not only in production. He named the use of decision support tools in regional situation centers as one example of the effective use of artificial intelligence to ensure information security.

"We recently implemented exactly this kind of project in the Republic of Tatarstan. Using the results of modeling in the regional situation center contributed to more efficient operation of the local healthcare system during extreme periods of the coronavirus epidemic. Mathematical models and predictive analytics made it possible to determine the possibilities for servicing new residential buildings under construction, formulate recommendations for the construction of new healthcare facilities to ensure social guarantee standards, calculate the workload and need for medical personnel, and assess the workload by area to improve the medical examination of the population," Dinar Mulyukov gave an example.

According to him, with the help of AI it is possible to track excess concentrations of harmful substances in the air, determine zones of dispersion of pollutants, plan and implement compensatory measures.

Leading analyst of Mobile Research Group Eldar Murtazin explained that predictive systems are one of the fashionable trends, because preventing accidents is much cheaper than dealing with their consequences. "At the moment, we see this in completely different areas - from telecom operators who work on the front line, to quite conservative companies. Such systems can be implemented in any enterprises - factories, plants, electric power industry, gas and oil pipes, etc. - right up to retail equipment in a store. And here it is important how we analyze the data, what we do with it, and the more they are generated, the more accurately we can predict certain errors and failures," the analyst noted.

He noted that at the stage of data collection for AI, false positives are possible, when the system cries "wolves, wolves", but in reality there are no failures and none are expected. "This is a question of setting up the system, adjusting it to yourself, etc. All this together must be done correctly, and we get a system that saves money in large quantities," concluded Eldar Murtazin.
