Cognitive Services
for
Paper Industry

Cognitive Services
• for Manufacturing
software that visually inspects processes, parts, components, or products
• for Automotive
AI-powered microphones that assess the quality of car engines
• for Paper Industry
AI-powered cameras to monitor the papermaking process
and detect, measure, and analyze the wet line
• for Restaurants
add-on software that recognizes meals
and sends a list of these to the cashier's machine

Manufacturing
Key problems
Visual Inspection
• Growing cost of manual
inspections & limited access
to qualified personnel
• Poor quality impacts customer
satisfaction, reputation etc.
• Poor counting generates losses
(freebies). Alternatively:
disappointed customers
if we ship too little.
• Slow inspection means missed
opportunities, slow G2M etc.
Data Analytics
• No historic data/data collection
means no data analytics.
• No data analytics means: we don’t
know what we don’t know.
• Collecting all data generates
unnecessary costs (of storage).
• Poor data analytics:
• Unplanned downtimes
• Quality affected
• Customers satisfaction
• Inefficient processes, etc.
The average cost of an unplanned downtime is USD $220,000 a day for a paper or pulp plant.

Finding answers hidden in the data
4
• All industries generate data, some collect & process them:
— images, videos, sounds, and time-series data, etc.
• Data without analytics is useless
— it’s not gold, it’s just cost (of storage)
Lack of data analytics:
we don’t know what we don’t know
• Data Analytics: Why something happens? What will
likely happen? What are the trends?
• Automation: helps process data fast & efficiently.
Can we leverage historic data
to make better decisions?

Key takeaways
• byteLAKE’s Cognitive Services is a collection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models designed
to address Industry 4.0 and Restaurants needs. Each AI model has been designed and pre-trained
to be razor-focused on a specific job(s), therefore ensuring maximum accuracy.
• Can be re-trained to handle a variety of scenarios related to visual inspection/quality monitoring
automation, products counting, objects recognition and historic data analysis to find hidden answers in
the data (i.e. trends, information about why something happened or what will likely happen and when).
• New AI models are constantly added by byteLAKE which gradually increases the number of
scenarios that can be handled off-the-shelf. To do so, byteLAKE collaborates with a growing number
of industry/manufacturing leaders.
• Cognitive Services is an add-on to existing tools/software and its integration
is a straightforward process (compatibility).
• byteLAKE as single source for all components of the solution (sensors/cameras, edge devices,
servers, data acquisition/processing, deployment, post-delivery customer care etc.)
• Globally available through a growing network of integrators.
• Optimized for Intel technologies (OpenVINO) ensuring compatibility and maximum performance
across various hardware configurations.

Licensing
3 simple steps to deploy AI in your company

1. Cognitive Services standard license consists of 2 elements
a) One-time fee for product training/optimization.
b) Annual license giving access to the product incl. upgrades, customer care/support for 12

“AI already plays a very important role in our daily lives. Nevertheless, many companies still
perceive the application of AI in their business as an addition, not its foundation. The application
of the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit in byteLAKE’s Cognitive Services shows that
AI works efficiently as an actual tool for optimizing company operations. Moreover, such
a combination reduces the barrier of necessary upgrades to IT infrastructure in the company
to an additional computer forming the basis for the whole system. This is a breakthrough in looking
at AI and its implementation in companies that are able to see the potential in joining the ‘Industry
4.0’ family of businesses,” said Krzysztof Jonak, EMEA Territory Sales Director, Intel.
