Solutions adopted

Predictive maintenance

Anticipating failures before they occur means reducing costs and ensuring production continuity. IFAB develops advanced predictive models for monitoring industrial plants and machinery, using neural networks, multivariate time series, and vibration analysis. All validated in real-world contexts.

Edge AI frameworks for predictive algorithms

Bringing artificial intelligence directly onto industrial devices opens up new opportunities for efficiency and control. IFAB designs and optimises deep learning models for inference on edge microcontrollers, miniaturising complex algorithms without compromising accuracy and enabling predictive applications in distributed, resource-constrained production environments.

Real-time anomaly detection

Detecting anomalies in real time is essential to protect plants, processes, and production quality. IFAB develops AI-based anomaly detection systems that can be integrated with existing infrastructure to identify critical signals before they become problems, with applications ranging from manufacturing and logistics to the exploration of Quantum Computing for the supply chain.
