Reliability Engineering and AI
Abstract
Carl and Fred discussing the integration of artificial intelligence with the tools and procedures of reliability engineering.
Key Points
Join Carl and Fred as they discuss the broad subject of models, AI, and various types of automation, and how they interact with the day to day activities of reliability engineering.
Topics include:
- The efficacy of automating FMEAs, what should and should not be done?
- What is the role of teams and human involvement in reliability engineering?
- Increasing complexity of systems
- Model-based engineering
- What is role of skilled subject matter expert?
- Why are teams necessary?
- Where is engagement and buy in before taking action?
- Models are tools and can have errors
- Finite information on World Wide Web
- Human decisions can be supported by the tools of models, automation, data bases
- What is role of creativity and can it be modeled?
- Who gets patent with AI generated material?
- One study shows that 28% of medical journal papers are AI generated
- Where is FMEA useful?
- Can an AI bot be a participant on an FMEA team? FMEA bot: have you considered these failure mechanisms that may apply to the discussion?
- There are many opportunities for use of AI in FMEAs
- Don’t allow the machine to talk over the thinking that is needed on the high-risk areas
- Keep grounded in principles when integrating AI into reliability engineering
- What are you trying to accomplish and is the AI tool useful in that objective
- “Regression to the mean” is not necessarily the best approach
- Be discerning, critical, and open, all at the same time
- Be wary of misinformation on the web
- Always ask “what are the limitations?” for each tool?
Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques to field data analysis approaches.
