More about the project
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) manages the entire lifecycle of a product from its birth through the engineering, design and manufacture, service, and disposal of the manufactured products in the industry. In the context of advanced manufacturing industries, the applications of AI technologies are emerging in the PLM.
This project aims to use Big Data and machine learning in the industrial product life cycle management and construct a sustainable experience for society. The current goal of the research is to use natural language processing (NLP) to automate the extraction of crucial information from free-text of service calls and on-field technician comments. For this purpose, we are analysing service calls and machine logs data. The long-term goal of the research is the predictive maintenance of professional washers and dryers.
The project is part of the research in the research groups Data Intensive Software Technologies and Applications (DISTA), Smart Industry Group (SIG) and in the Linnaeus University Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications (DISA).
