Researchers, Dr. Roberto Marcelo Alvarez and Dr. Yini Airet Miró Vera, both graduates of the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana (International Iberoamerican University) (UNIB) collaborate with other professionals for a proposal to implement artificial intelligence in the detection and optimization of problems for the aeronautical industry.
The usual process for manufacturing and repairing aircraft has, to this day, been fairly rigid, and includes the manual processes of failure and error from the last century. The large-scale process maintains the design, manufacturing, integration-assembly, and testing phases. Within a linear process, in which every error must be restarted.
The researchers' proposal suggests introducing artificial intelligence to the already established linear process, with the purpose of a simulated intervention of the processes, to anticipate possible failures or mismatches that may occur. A simulation of the integration process, for example, could anticipate failures between the dimensions of the part and the aircraft, thus, allowing the artificial intelligence to anticipate the testing, since it would be a simulation.
The proposal includes artificial intelligence capable of accumulating knowledge to reduce future errors it may encounter in the process.
The updated process includes a third phase, directly involving artificial intelligence to minimize any problems during the integration-assembly, followed directly by ground and air testing.
Involving artificial intelligence during the repair, production, and testing processes would optimize time, quality, and materials, also representing an economic benefit.
