Predictive Analytics for Manufacturing Processes
The application of quantum computing to predict faults in the manufacturing process of advanced materials.
Project Overview
The Problem
The root cause of failures in product testing is often difficult to determine, particularly when the failure signals are sparse relative to the available background data.
Compounding the problem, the process must meet a variety of specifications for multiple customers simultaneously.
How We Are Solving It
The Result
The estimated market for these types of products is about $5 billion over the next 10 years. Some studies suggest that predictive maintenance could enable the world’s manufacturing industry to save up to US $700 billion over the next two decades. If successful, this initiative will help position Canada as a rising star in the global predictive analytics field.
