Safran Electrical & Power improves efficiency of cable assembly in Airbus A350’s structures
In Customer storyPosted June 15, 2020
How to accelerate and make reliable the assembly of tens of kilometers of cables that run through the fuselage of an airliner such as the Airbus A350 XWB? For Safran Electrical & Power, the answer lies in the implementation of Diota’s solution.
Engaged alongside Airbus in the production of its latest jumbo, Safran Electrical & Power is responsible for the production of 75% of the electrical harnesses that equip the fuselage of the A350 XWB. At its plant in Temara, Morocco, more than 400 people work in the manufacture of these complex wiring that supply all the electrical equipment in the cabin. The volumes are significant: since the delivery of the first harness for the A350 in 2012 the equipment manufacturer has already produced more than 100,000, which must then be assembled accurately within the fuselage of the A350.
Assembling electrical harnesses is a complex operation that leaves no room for chance. The length of the cables is calculated as close to the actual distance provided by the engineering, and each harness must take a precise path along the structural elements of the aircraft. The assembly is traditionally done by hand with the help of a technical plan of the device.
From the paper plan to the digital model
The technician must therefore first identify among the different sections of the fuselage, then identify each of the crossing points before putting his harnesses. The process is all the more tedious as it varies from one aircraft to another, depending on the cabin configuration selected by the end customer. It does not tolerate any error, neither in the connection of the harnesses, nor in the routing of the cables.
In this context, Safran wanted to offer its technicians a tool adapted to their needs, capable of improving the efficiency of assembly, but also of allowing each operator to intuitively check the conformity of its assembly. Diota has responded to this dual objective by adapting its Digital-assisted operator solution, articulated around DiotaPlayer, to the operational constraints of harness assembly.
It allows Safran teams to visualize the exact routing of each harness in augmented reality via a tablet. Rather than follow a theoretical route on a plane, the operator can thus constantly compare his editing with the expected expected by the digital model of the aircraft. The tracking system developed by Diota provides the level of reliability needed to accurately determine the path in which a cable must pass and what connections to make. Tracking is effective even in the least well-lit sections.
A solution integrated to a simple tablet
To successfully deploy augmented reality in an environment as constrained as the fuselage of an aircraft, Diota has developed a dedicated device. Equipped with a black and white camera to optimize contrast detection, it is associated with an inertial unit that completes the visual tracking module, allowing to be very precise in large volumes. The set has been integrated in a simple tablet so as not to hinder the movements of the technician and facilitate access to tight spaces. The solution finally shows an accessible interface in order to favor the handling by operators who are not necessarily used to Augmented Reality.
The results obtained on the production stages now point to new outlets for the solution developed by Diota, particularly on the maintenance phases

Deep Learning & Augmented Reality
In NewsPosted May 14, 2021
Diota accelerates the deployment of Augmented Reality solutions with the integration of a Deep Learning option allowing an automatic initialization of the tracking model that is more robust to changes in the environment
Initialization of the tracking model is a required step before starting to use augmented reality to display work instructions on the field. Different methods are available to perform this initialization. Standard learning techniques make it possible to set up a reference model proposing rapid and efficient initialization. During the deployment phases though, when systems must be operational in varying conditions, e.g. day, night, natural lighting, artificial lighting, or within numerous workstations with different assembly configurations and changing backgrounds, standard learning procedures must be enriched to take these variations into account.
To face these challenges, a novel groundbreaking approach has been integrated in our Diota 4X solution using deep learning technology to ensure easy initialization of tracking and robustness to changing environment.
The Deep Learning option offers an alternative to our standard learning approach offering even more flexibility during deployment of use cases in factories. Indeed, the Deep Learning approach allows to create a learning base from a small volume of data using few video recordings in combination with the digital mockup to offer a generic initialization method that adapts to a broad variety of variations. Thus, the customer is spending significantly less time during initialization and therefore saves time on deployments while having flexibility in the choice of workstations.
Deep learning option is also particularly relevant if you already have implemented our solution and you want to quickly replicate and deploy the same use case on another industrial site with a different work environment
I think these guys are on to something here. Someone needs to step up with a solution ideally it will be ultra low powered at least 5 to 10 times so and capable of functioning regardless of any connection issues. Would also be cool if it could learn new classes at the edge:
Edge Applications Bring New App Performance Challenges
by TutsHost
3 min read
Modern monitoring solutions provide visibility into the business of complex, advanced applications and help employees make data-driven decisions when investigating latency issues.
The application performance requirements are quite strict these days. However, the challenging expectations of service level for web and mobile apps seem odd when it comes to performance constraints imposed by high-end apps. This is the reason why companies need modern monitoring solutions to better understand and eliminate performance issues in such applications.
Let’s put the issue into perspective. The expectations of today’s employees, customers and other users are very demanding. They have no tolerance for delays. 40 percent of users will abandon a website that takes more than three seconds to load. And 53 percent of users will abandon a mobile app that fails to load in three seconds.

When it comes to the rim, the tolerances are tighter. IoT devices and applications typically require latency rates of no more than 50ms and sometimes as high as 10ms.
Even worse, the consequences could be more serious if edge application causes a slight degradation in performance.
Take a common stand. The online user is about to make a purchase, but when they go to pay, the transaction is suspended. The problem may be that the third-party payment processing gateway is working poorly. If the customer gets frustrated, they will abandon the purchase. The company may lose not only that sale, but if a customer finds the same item on another site, they may lose their business forever.

This has a huge impact on a poorly performing application. But the problem may be life-threatening if a delay occurs in one of the high-end applications. Just imagine if the pedestrian detection system of a self-driving car had a malfunction.

With edge applications, toInattention is the devil
Many new technologies, such as connected vehicles, AR/VR, and industrial automation, are imposing new requirements on latency. Many applications require single-digit millisecond latency. Complicating matters is the fact that data traversing multiple networks between a data center and an edge device can take tens of milliseconds or more.
There are several ways to reduce latency. One of the most important things is to properly design an edge app. For example, one could use a hub-and-spoke model with latency-sensitive components at the edge.

Another thing is to gain insight into the correctness of applying the tip. However, with the complexity of distributed applications, it can be difficult to access real-time telemetry. This can hinder troubleshooting and slow root cause analysis.
What we need is a modern observation solution that provides insight into the workings of complex edge applications. Such a solution can help employees make data-driven decisions and reduce the time required to investigate operational issues.

I wait patiently for @Diogenese to emerge from the barrel on the mount to hand down his patent wisdom to the assembled masses.Yes,
I have noticed that the Safran + Diota relationship continues to evolve, but everything is very quiet as far as Brainchip is concerned ?
From 2017
It was developed by the Diota company in Massy-Palaiseau, in which Safran Corporate Ventures took a stake in 2016. The system also uses an image processing application to check that the cable is correctly plugged in, produced by Spikenet Technology (BrainChip) in Toulouse.“We want to validate the system by the summer to deploy an industrial solution in 2018 on all the wiring sites that make complicated plug-ins ,” says Valentin Safir.

Safran as a customer is an absolute octopus for Brainchip. Just wish there was something a little more concrete to chew on.
Any current supporting linkages between Diota and Brainchip would do the trick, given Safran have a financial interest etc.
Citi is the latest banking giant to call the metaverse and Web3 a multi-trillion dollar opportunity. In its March 2022 report, “Metaverse and Money: Decrypting the Future,” Citi said the metaverse economy could be an $8 to $13 trillion total addressable market by 2030. In research published in December 2021, Goldman Sachs put a $12.5 trillion number on the space, in a bullish outlook that assumed one-third of the digital economy shifts into virtual worlds and then expands by 25 percent. Furthermore, a Gartner® report states, “the metaverse will provide economic opportunities using new kinds of digital business assets and value exchange models. Executive leaders should augment their digital transformation strategy by exploring virtual world product development, brand placement, customer engagement, and financial flows.” (Gartner, “How to Increase Customer Engagement and Drive Revenue in the Metaverse”, David Furlonger, Christophe Uzureau, Rajesh Kandaswamy, Feb 8, 2022).“Veritone Voice will streamline the way we work with talent in film and TV production, while still creating authentic experiences for audiences”

What the heck! That is huge! I will have to do some more reading on that. Thank youCareful not to bump your head. Read the Mercedes thread WHERE Brainchip, Mercedes and Nvidia are working side by side and then add the Rob Telson interview a few weeks ago where he was asked about competing with Nvidia and he said they saw Nvidia as more of a partner moving forward.

The AKD1000 chip uses an ARM 4 processor for the peripherals. It has been stated on many occasions that AKIDA technology is processor agnostic and the clearest statement as to how this work in my opinion is to be found in Anil Mankar's presentation to the 2021 Ai Field Day. Now bearing in mind that I am not a techie but a lawyer I would think that if you were using AKIDA IP with SiFive's RISC-V it would perform the function of the ARM4 and you would not need any additional architecture as the IP is the neural network.https://venturebeat-com.cdn.ampproj...ner-to-bring-ai-and-ml-to-edge-computing/amp/
I think this article has been shared before, but I read something today that I didn’t really think to much of last time. Maybe someone else has an idea of what is meant here.
The interview is asking Sifive about if Brainchip has any Arm IP in their chip. He goes on by saying that ARM IP has been mentioned by Brainchip.
I wasn’t aware that they used any ARM IP in Akida. It’s another connection between Brainchip and ARM ?
I thought they used Arm Core of some sort but maybe that’s me not understanding it properly.
And I also find the engagement between Brainchip and Sifive interesting when you think of the fact that ARM is supposed to be biggest competitor of Sifive and all the ex Arm employees jumping ship.
Is Brainchip the key to taking on Arm ?

If Brainchip can pick up 1% of total spending in this space, it's worth 130 Billion dollars !!!.
If Brainchip makes a complete dogs breakfast of all their engagements and only manages to pick up 0.01% of the total spend, it's still worth 13 Billion dollars.
