Plataine joins the National Composites Centre
Plataine will be able to access the NCC’s facilities to implement its Industrial IoT, AI-based solutions, creating a test environment for the factory of the future.
Plataine (Tel-Aviv, Israel), a provider of Industrial IoT (IIoT) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based software for advanced manufacturing optimization, announced on April 2 that it has joined the membership network of The National Composites Centre (NCC, Bristol, U.K.). Together, they will present further opportunities on performing digital transformation of advanced manufacturing processes.
As part of the partnership, Plataine will be able to access NCC’s facilities to implement its Industrial IoT, AI-based solutions, creating a test environment of the factory of the future. NCC will implement Plataine’s Intelligent Digital Assistants, which integrate factory floor machines’, systems’ and sensor data, to drive AI-based alerts and optimized recommendations to production floor staff.
“We are excited and proud to join the NCC and are looking forward to be working with a team that shares the NCC’s commitment and vision to deliver cutting edge technology to the industry,” says Avner Ben-Bassat, CEO and president at Plataine.
“As world-leaders in composite research, the NCC provide state-of-the-art capabilities for industry. We’re excited by this new membership that will enable the NCC to apply AI technology and data science techniques to gain a much more comprehensive understanding of composite processes. This will ultimately demonstrate the potential of digitally enabled manufacturing to produce parts more efficiently whilst maintaining the highest level of quality,” says Marc Funnell, head of digital at the National Composites Centre.
