Reality AI launches edge AI solution

08/12/2021

Reality AI has announced the availability of RealityCheck AD, an anomaly detection solution for factory settings that automatically learns the normal behaviour of machines and reports on abnormalities. RealityCheck AD consists of a vibration sensor or microphone, an edge node running artificial intelligence (AI) software from Reality AI and an engineering workstation in the cloud for monitoring equipment and developing more sophisticated models.

Customers can use Reality AI to find patterns in idle time, automatically discover mechanical causes and predict the remaining useful life of components. It can also be used for end-of-line quality control testing, spotting abnormalities in product function and specific defects.

Customers configure RealityCheck AD by plugging in their chosen supported sensors, attaching them to their equipment and initialising the machine learning program. RealityCheck AD then begins to monitor input data, collecting a baseline for anomaly detection. When it has sufficient data, the edge node will switch to inference mode, delivering detection of abnormal behaviour in the input sensors without further input required from the user.

Customers can then collect anomalous data over time and use Reality AI Tools® software to generate more advanced models for classification of anomalies and prediction of remaining useful life.

RealityCheck AD comes with several different options for edge nodes from hardened Industrial Internet of Things gateways to Rasberry Pi. Sensor options include high-performance vibration sensors, as well as more economical options. Explosion-proof versions are available for customers in energy and process industries that require it.

RealityCheck AD also contains application programming interfaces (APIs) for integration into dashboards, manufacturing information systems and workflow systems.

RealityCheck AD is now available for early access to select customers.
