Cognizant, AWS IoT solutions Enhance Manufacturing Quality through Advanced Computer Vision, pave the way for Generative AI. - APEx solution combines data across multiple industrial systems to drive excellence in manufacturing operations, operates locally at the edge with AWS IoT services. - Gen AI solutions overlay this digital foundation to drive high value use cases in manufacturing.

APEx is designed to expedite the development of a tailored sensing and analytics infrastructure, and operates in conjunction with AWS services like AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT SiteWise & Sitewise Edge, AWS IoT Greengrass, Amazon SageMaker, SageMaker Groundtruth, Neo, Lambda and other services. It provides a comprehensive quality monitoring experience for plant managers, operating entirely on-premises, at the edge, eliminating the need to send large amounts of data or sensitive information to the cloud.

Cognizant APEx leverages cameras mounted on production lines to capture product images, which are then analyzed using computer vision to detect defects in produced parts. In addition to displaying key metrics like yield, scrap rate, cycle time, and overall equipment effectiveness, the system uses machine learning models to identify and describe quality issues.
