Predict steel quality with Azure AutoML in manufacturing
by Guest JoakimAstrom- 0 replies
- 0 views
Co-Authors: Lotta Åhag, Gustav Kruse, Erik Rosendahl. This post will guide you through how we, Lotta Åhag and Gustav Kruse, used Azure AutoML and the 'Enterprise Scale ML (ESML) solution accelerator for Azure', to build an end-2-end machine learning solution in 6 weeks. The value of the solution is estimated to reduce 3.35 tons of Co2 emissions of propane and decrease electricity usage of 90MWh per year after putting the solution into production. The ecological impact is much higher - fewer quality rejections will save a lot of resources including coal (and gas) needed to produce the steel. We collaborated with the Epiroc Data Scientist, Erik Rosendahl, who worked wi…

We’re planning to make a change that will fail this kind…

No more port forwarding in your router, public IP addresses in your VMs, everything will route through the Azure gateway, and you will get an any-to-any type of connectivity. The second reason is to demonstrate some important concepts such as: Site-to-Site VPN Point-to-Site VPN BGP Azure AD authentication for VPN Note that everything I will demonstrate here can …
