Hype vs Reality

  • Greenfields vs brownfield

retrofits

  • Knowing your process
  • Find partners
  • Local ecosystem growing
  • Funding is available
slide-7
SLIDE 7

Where do you start?

  • Process Mapping

and Value Streams

  • Pain Points and

Bottlenecks

  • “Lean”ing
  • Reduce paper and

manual entry (especially any doubling)

Example # 1 – JDI Automated Somatic Embryo Processing

  • Fully automated workcell.
  • Workcell automates previously manual laboratory steps
  • Need to collect processing information from each step
  • Information can be in the form of step process times,

temperatures, water levels, images, robot positions, machine throughput, final part count.

  • How do we connect to this process ?

Example # 2 – SomaDetect Sensor Device

  • Real time somatic cell milk quality sensor
  • Real time sensor replaces once per month lab test and can

identify the health of each cow during every milking.

  • Each sensor collects complex light scatter patterns generated

by somatic cells and fat, and uses machine learning and computer vision techniques to decipher these patterns

  • Currently installed in 250 locations in Canada and the US and

generating data from 5,000 cows.

  • How do we connect to this process ?

Machine Learning: Key Ideas and Applications

  • At its core, machine learning uses mathematical methods to find patterns in data.
  • Can be applied to nearly all types of data.
  • Despite being an old field, recent advances in computational technology has allowed

for massive growth.

  • Some consider ML to be a key player in “The Next Industrial Revolution”.
