Four ways to use AI to cut validation costs

Build shorter test plans, create fewer prototypes, find errors faster, and validate designs more quickly using AI-based self-learning models. 

 

1. Automatically detect faulty sensors


To avoid downstream issues, your engineers must tediously inspect test data for errors. One failed sensor or wiring malfunction can render thousands of dollars in testing useless.

  • Prepare your data for optimal AI performance
  • Catch bad data now so you avoid re-engineering later
  • Find outliers in your test data fast with intuitive visualisation

2. Predict the critical tests to run


Test too much and you waste time confirming what you already know. Test too little and risk missing performance issues. Schedule, quality and your career depend on finding the balance. 

  • Run the most important tests and skip the rest
  • Optimize resources spent on costly test rigs and facilities
  • Validate your designs faster with fewer prototype iterations 

3. Determine the cause of system failure

 

Product design issues during validation risk launch delays and lost market share. Pressure on engineers is high to identify critical parameters causing failure, quickly analyze the root cause, and predict how the product will perform in changing conditions.

  • Predict what design changes will most likely fix the failure
  • Identify components causing sub-optimal performance
  • Avoid long delays and uncertainty in the validation process

4. Calibrate for thousands of conditions

 

Designing highly complex, non-linear systems that must meet stringent performance standards is challenging. Predicting which combination of inputs will deliver the optimal output, in all operating conditions, is next to impossible.

  • Calibrate complex dynamic systems
  • Ensure your system performs to spec in all conditions
  • Find best-fit values across 1000's of inputs and conditions

How is Monolith better than current statistical and simulation methods?

There are five ways Monolith delivers superior performance to statistical and simulation methods. 

  1. Increased accuracy: advanced machine learning algorithms identify complex patterns and relationships in engineering datasets for more accurate predictions and insights
  2. Faster analysis: algorithms are optimised for speed, allowing it to analyse large datasets much more quickly
  3. More comprehensive analysis: analyse both structured and unstructured data
  4. Adaptive learning: continually refine and improve the accuracy of predictions
  5. Ease of use: no code environment built by engineers for engineers

What if I don't have alot of data or I'm modeling a new product?

Most often, you need less data than you think! 100s of rows and a handful of columns for a tabular data approach can already get you going on your journey to adopt AI. If you don't have enough data for an AI project, we recommend the following: 

  1. Data augmentation: Create new training examples from existing data by applying transformations or scaling to existing data (this is how our customer Kautex Textron did it).
  2. Transfer learning: Use and reuse data gathered from an old product to improve a new product.
  3. Consider a simpler model: A simpler model requires less data to train. The best approach will depend on the specific task and constraints of your project.

Our mantra: Start small - but start! Find a small, incremental quick win, and let our AI team of experts guide you on your way forward to intelligently acquire more data and build even more impactful models.

How will having a model in Monolith help me reduce design cycles?

Monolith reduces design cycles by offering rapid analysis, accurate predictions, custom models, collaboration, and optimization capabilities. Its algorithms are optimized for speed, enabling quick iteration and testing of multiple scenarios. Custom models capture domain-specific knowledge, while collaboration and optimization capabilities improve effectiveness and identify the best design options. By leveraging Monolith's capabilities, teams can deliver better designs more efficiently.

Does my team need to start from scratch once an AI model is built?

Monolith's self-learning models automate repetitive or time-consuming tasks, allowing teams to focus on more complex work. However, data quality, model drift, and interpretation are critical considerations, all supported by Monolith. Teams may need to update or retrain models to account for changes and understand their decision-making processes. By monitoring and managing these factors, teams can ensure ongoing value from Monolith's AI models.
