We recently wrapped up the IDC CIO Summit Adriatic 2024 in Croatia, where we presented key lessons from our AI deployments and highlighted how byteLAKE, in collaboration with Lenovo Edge Servers and Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit, delivers measurable business outcomes through AI-powered software solutions.

At the event, we shared practical AI solutions that are driving Industry 4.0 and Smart Factories:

  • Visual Inspection: AI-powered image and video analysis automates defect detection, ensuring consistent quality control.
  • Sound Analytics: AI interprets sound patterns to diagnose equipment issues and predict failures.
  • Data Insights: Extract actionable insights from IoT devices, documents, and other data sources to enhance performance and predict trends.
  • Papermaking Monitoring: AI monitors the wet line to optimize production and efficiency in the papermaking process.

In our second session, we focused on AI-driven predictive maintenance and energy optimization for utility companies, showcasing how AI enhances operational efficiency:

  • Energy Optimization: AI improves energy distribution and consumption, helping companies cut costs and increase efficiency.
  • Predictive Maintenance: AI predicts equipment failures and optimizes maintenance schedules, minimizing downtime and reducing expenses.
  • Data Analytics for Decision-Making: AI transforms data streams into actionable insights, enabling smarter and faster decision-making with human-like interactions powered by Generative AI (GenAI).

We ended with a roundtable discussion on how AI can drive operational excellence in areas like quality control, predictive maintenance, and energy optimization. Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared insights! If you missed the event, don’t worry — you can still connect with us in Romania on October 24th for more AI-driven conversations and demonstrations.

AI for HoReCa: Elevating Efficiency with Computer Vision

AI isn’t just transforming industrial operations; it’s also making a big impact on the HoReCa industry. By leveraging computer vision algorithms, AI can expedite processes like self-checkout. For example, cameras can analyze groceries or food items placed at the cashier’s desk, automatically sending the itemized list to the cashier’s system, streamlining the payment process.

To see how AI is improving efficiency in grocery recognition and automating checkout in HoReCa, join us at one of the following events:

  • October 15th, Product & Solution Days, Salzburg, Austria
  • October 17th, Product & Solution Days, Vienna, Austria
  • October 22nd, Lenovo Update Tour, Stuttgart, Germany
  • November 5th, Lenovo Update Tour, Hamburg, Germany
  • November 12th, Lenovo Update Tour, Bochum, Germany
  • November 14th, Lenovo Update Tour, Mainz, Germany
  • November 20th-21st, Retail Show, Warsaw, Poland
Self-checkout Solution for HoReCa

We look forward to meeting you and showcasing how AI can make a real-world impact across various industries!
