Intel IT is using computer vision and AI for inline inspection in Intel’s assembly and test factories. Keeping Intel’s global network of factories running at top efficiency is one of Intel IT’s primary roles. Over the last decade, we have introduced numerous automated, artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions that significantly reduce waste and improve product quality. Recently, we added a new capability using computer vision (CV) and machine learning that enables us to perform inline inspection during assembly and test processes. Inline inspection can catch defects and tool issues much ea ..read more

Learn the latest in Intel IT’s approach to fault detection for factory equipment. For many years, Intel IT has utilized a standard infrastructure with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors and Intel IoT Gateways for various applications on the factory floor. Simultaneously, we have employed a separate and expensive vendor-based system for fault detection and classification (FDC) on factory equipment. This system has contributed to reduced factory downtime and enhanced predictive maintenance on certain subfab equipment, such as pumps, gas abatement systems, chillers, and more. To lower c ..read more

Increasing Electronic Design Automation (EDA) performance and throughput is critical to Intel’s silicon Design engineers. Silicon chip Design engineers at Intel face ongoing challenges: integrating more features into ever-shrinking silicon chips, bringing products to market faster and keeping Design engineering and manufacturing costs low. Design engineers run more than 273 million compute-intensive batch jobs every week. Each job takes from a few seconds to several days to complete. As design complexity increases, so do the requirements for compute capacity, so refreshing servers and workstat ..read more

After our successful, proof-of-concept (POC) testing of our on-premise platform, where we found that the Granulate software reduced 25% of memory and 44% of CPU utilization, while offering potential cost savings, we began testing in the cloud Databricks data lake. Collaborating with our technology partner Accenture, Intel IT performed a four-week POC with the active Granulate agent in our Production and Quality Assurance (QA) environment running on the Databricks platform securely in the public cloud. The results included a 23% improvement in vCore compute consumption, a 17% increase in data t ..read more
