    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] The original industrial revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries completely reshaped society and changed the way things are made, the way people work, and the way people live
    .
    The second industrial revolution began in the late 19th century and brought more progress due to the introduction of electricity and railway networks
    .
    However, what defines the modern era is the digital revolution that began in the second half of the 20th century—or the third industrial revolution
    .
    This is the beginning of the information age, and computers have become popular
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    The fourth or fifth industrial revolution
     
    The fourth or fifth industrial revolution
    There are some debates about whether we are in the fourth industrial revolution or whether our society has developed to the fifth industrial revolution
    .
    Either way, the stage we are now at is defined by the vast amount of computing power and the exciting possibilities of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things
    .
    When these advances are integrated into all aspects of our lives, it is easy to take these advances for granted
    .
    In an ordinary American home, you may find artificial intelligence devices such as smart TVs, video doorbells, and smart speakers, not to mention the smart phones that have always existed around us
    .
    In addition to smart homes, artificial intelligence and other technologies are driving the digital transformation of almost all industries
    .

     

    manufacturing
     
    manufacturing
    Manufacturing is a classic example of how technological advancements such as artificial intelligence and computer vision (CV) are shaking up the business world
    .
    Many factories — which have become very automated in the past few decades — have adopted computer vision (CV) applications to further increase efficiency and reduce costs
    .
    CV enables machines to inspect hundreds or thousands of parts per minute with higher reliability than humans
    .
    Machine can also check the product with great precision to ensure that the product meets certain parameters, such as height, length, width and the like
    .

     

    artificial intelligence
     
    artificial intelligence
    It is fascinating to see how many artificial intelligence robots work side by side with humans
    .
    This type of collaborative robot or cobot combines the skills and intelligence of machines and humans to provide the best of both worlds
    .
    Collaborative robots can increase productivity and help ensure people’s safety by performing more onerous tasks and freeing up workers’ time, allowing them to focus on more exciting tasks instead of monotonous and repetitive tasks
    .

     

    Advances in edge artificial intelligence processing have paved the way for today's artificial intelligence robots and will open up new possibilities for future robots
    .
    Intelligent robots must process large amounts of information in real time, so it is much more efficient for these machines to process data at the edge instead of sending the data to the cloud and back
    .
    Traditionally, it has been challenging to develop a processor that can meet the computing requirements of robots
    .
    CV applications require high performance and low latency, but minimizing power consumption is equally important
    .

     

    As I discussed in the previous article, the combination of analog computing technology and flash memory is helping to solve the challenges of edge AI processing
    .
    The combination of analog computing and flash memory can achieve powerful processing capabilities, while reducing chip costs by up to 20 times and increasing energy efficiency by 10 times
    .
    It will be interesting to see how manufacturers use powerful analog computing solutions to develop more innovative artificial intelligence machines and processes, which we cannot even imagine today
    .
