Reimagining Industry 4.0 with Digitalization, Quality Visualization, Ground Truth, and 'Human in the Loop' AI w/ Chuck Myers of Cogniac (SAP.iO)

We’re in the midst of a significant transformation regarding the
way we produce products thanks to the digitization of
manufacturing and the convergence of tech. This transition
represents a change in global supply chains, the fourth
revolution that has occurred in manufacturing. Quality,
harmonization across processes, leveraging data for insights in
industry 4.0, all still hinge on an enterprise's ability to
elegantly incorporate technology, humans, and the original ground
truth of what's happening real-time. How do you revolutionize
vision and inspection with a big data platform for visual data?
How do you manage it and let it permeate in the cloud
stratosphere, then push it out to manufacturers?


Meet Cogniac.


In Episode 55, Sheri Hinish (Supply Chain Queen) chats with Chuck
Myers, CEO of Cogniac and serial innovator with an accomplished
career in defense, automotive, telco, and scaling start ups to
successful companies.


Chuck shares the key to his success, diverse teams. No surprise
here folks. He shares hard earned lessons about leading and
selling successful companies, where he describes, "its better to
be lucky, than good. I've had a lot of doubles. You have to be a
bit paranoid, hire good people, be a loyal person and put people
in the right job and treat them right."


Industry 4.0 leaves many questioning how do humans fit into
AI/ML, big data, and automation. 'Human in the loop' makes
Cogniac different because it is essentially building AI for AI,
including the quality SME. Chuck explains an example of Cogniac
in railroad, where it visualizes for inspection about 22M trains
wheels a month, 30,000 miles of track in near real time. AI makes
a determination of high probability and elevates to the 'human in
the loop' with immediate intervention. In this example, critical
decisions by the human are value add and elevated in the
enterprise. This union illustrates the marriage of AI in the
future of work across global supply chains and Industry 4.0.
