The project submission entitled, “Ensuring High Quality Through Analytics – An AI-Based Predictive Quality Solution for a Yarn Manufacturing Line,” was focused on a predictive quality solution for Voith’s manufacturing lines that produce monofilament yarn for paper machine clothing fabric at the company’s Summerville, S.C. facility.
