Webinar Overview
Today’s industrial facilities have access to immense quantities of data. If properly leveraged, this data can enable the facility to improve safety performance, optimize maintenance and inspection tasks, and decrease overall spend. While humans are often unable to derive the full benefits of the available data, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) can strengthen our natural limitations, resulting in faster data analysis and better insights. Machine learning models can quickly sort through, organize, and clean massive amounts of input data such as process, operation, and design information, enabling facility leaders to make better-informed operational decisions.
To help better understand different data science and machine learning techniques that can help improve your reliability programs, Inspectioneering has teamed up with Pinnacle to bring you Leveraging Data Science and Machine Learning to Improve Your Reliability and Mechanical Integrity Programs, a one-hour webinar presented by Andrew Waters and Kevin Birkby. The topics discussed include corrosion modeling, inspection and maintenance task optimization, handling textual data, and more.
