De essentiële basics van Artificiële Intelligentie voor Maintenance & Reliability Engineers
This pilot training is part of the ESF project vormAInt. Through this project, BEMAS, together with its partners, wants to offer a range of practice-oriented training courses to enable operators, technicians, managers and engineers in industrial production companies and other asset-intensive environments to make (better) use of Artificial Intelligence applied in maintenance and asset management. After all, AI enables the prediction of upcoming failures, thus avoiding unplanned downtime and technical incidents.
In the future, your organisation will also have to deal with Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is therefore important to already get acquainted with the possible applications of this technology and the impact it will have on your tasks. Therefore BEMAS, in cooperation with several specialists in the field, has set up an AI awareness training for maintenance & reliability engineers.
In this 2-day training, we will introduce the building blocks and terms for you as technical engineer in maintenance and reliability to successfully introduce AI in your organisation. We will touch upon technical aspects like software and data, but also the organisational and human impact of AI.

Method
By explaining practical applications of AI in the industry (quality control, defect detection, predictive maintenance, ...) and demonstrating how certain actions can be put into practice by means of examples and/or concrete advice, you can test and apply what you have learned in practice afterwards. In addition, the material learned during the training will be tested by means of a quiz.
Target group
Reliability and/or maintenance engineers, and any technical profile in maintenance and reliability who is interested in the building blocks of AI, in the technical aspects such as software and data, but equally in the organisational and human impact of AI.
