FaultFindy (Build intelligence using Machine Learning to predict the faulty tyre in manufacturing)

Problem Statement

The objective of this project is to develop an intelligent system using deep learning to predict the faults in manufacturing processes. By analyzing various manufacturing parameters and process data, the system will predict the faulty tyre generated during production. This predictive capability will enable manufacturers to proactively optimize their processes, reduce waste, and improve overall production efficiency.

Focus Areas:

• Data Collection: Gather historical manufacturing data, including good and faulty corresponding tyre images.
• Data Preprocessing: Clean, preprocess, and transform the data to make it suitable for deep learning models.
• Feature Engineering: Extract relevant features and identify key process variables that impact faulty tyre generation.
• Model Selection: Choose appropriate machine learning algorithms for faulty tyre prediction.
• Model Training: Train the selected models using the preprocessed data.
• Model Evaluation: Assess the performance of the trained models using appropriate evaluation metrics.
