Industrial AI

Industrial AI That Starts With the Process

Not a generic AI platform. Process intelligence, built on real equipment, real process signals and manufacturing know-how.

Our position

Do not build a generic AI platform.Build process intelligence.

Leidao industrial AI grows from real equipment, real process signals and manufacturing know-how.

  3. 3Process models
  4. 4Industrial decision
  5. 5Production feedback

Four stages

  1. 01In development

    Process Modelling

    Capture parameters, signals and outcomes from real machining and production, and structure them into models of how a process behaves.

  2. 02In development

    Industrial Skills

    Package proven process knowledge into reusable skills that equipment and production lines can call on.

  3. 03Roadmap

    Industrial Agents

    Agents that read process state and propose or coordinate actions under engineer oversight.

  4. 04Roadmap

    Industrial Cloud

    A shared platform for process data, models and skills across sites.

This is the architecture and development path, not a claim that every function is available. Process modelling and industrial skills are in development. Industrial Agent and Industrial Cloud are roadmap items.

Process modelling

Process Modelling

SPETEC and Leidao design every ultrasonic machine tool as a data-collection terminal, so that real machining becomes structured process knowledge.

Signals captured

  • 01Vibration
  • 02Load
  • 03Thermal deformation
  • 04Spindle pull and spindle state
  • 05Quality outcome
  • 06Tool condition

Every machine becomes a source of process knowledge.

A process-parameter library

The architecture builds libraries of process parameters for difficult-to-machine materials, packaging the best combinations of material, tool and working condition into standard skill packages.

  • Titanium alloys
  • High-temperature alloys
  • Ceramics
  • CMC

Industrial skills

From Expert Know-how to Industrial Skills

A skill package turns the hand-feel of an experienced machinist into a repeatable, transferable digital asset.

What a skill package contains

  1. 01Material
  2. 02Tool
  3. 03Machine state
  4. 04Process parameters
  5. 05Quality criteria
  6. 06Constraints
  7. 07Expert knowledge

Target materials

  • Titanium alloys
  • High-temperature alloys
  • Ceramics
  • CMC

Skill packages are in development, starting with the materials above.

Roadmap

Industrial Agent and Industrial Cloud

The next steps build on process models and skills.

Industrial Agent

Roadmap
  • Edge intelligence
  • Multi-machine coordination
  • Dynamic process optimisation
  • Diagnostics
  • Natural-language interaction

Industrial Cloud

Roadmap
  • Skill library
  • API ecosystem
  • Tool and material partner integration

Both are roadmap items and are not yet available.

Research

Fractional-Order AI Research

Leidao's intelligent-manufacturing roadmap includes joint research on fractional-order AI for equipment, production-line and factory optimisation.

  1. 01

    Equipment: modelling, self-optimising parameters, diagnostics

  2. 02

    Production line: dynamic scheduling and multi-product changeover

  3. 03

    Factory: coordinated optimisation across lines

Control methods

  • Fractional-order ultrasonic RTCP

    Keeps the ultrasonic vibration direction aligned with the surface normal during five-axis motion, to reduce chatter on complex surfaces.

  • Fractional phase-locked frequency tracking

    Locks onto the resonance point quickly when the load changes.

  • Fractional PID amplitude control

    Closed-loop amplitude control, with a target fluctuation within ±0.5 µm.

Principles

How We Approach Industrial AI

Industrial AI succeeds when it delivers measurable value on a real production line, not when the algorithm is the most advanced.

  1. 01

    Start with the real scene

    Value comes from real, measurable business scenes, not from technology for its own sake.

  2. 02

    Build the data foundation

    Start from accumulated process data. Without high-quality, standardised industrial data, industrial AI has nothing to stand on.

  3. 03

    Capture expert knowledge

    Turn expert experience into knowledge bases and intelligent agents that become lasting enterprise capability.

  4. 04

    Scale step by step

    Climb the stairs, do not take the lift. Each level rests on the one below it, with no skipping.

Three engineering requirements

  • Reliability

    Industrial scenes demand precise, stable and verifiable results.

  • Explainability

    Process decisions must be traceable, so engineers can understand and check them.

  • Data quality

    Vibration, temperature and image data must be standardised across systems.

The intelligence loop

From Physical Process to Industrial Intelligence

Industrial AI grows from real equipment, real process signals and manufacturing know-how. The loop returns to production, so every decision is tested on the line.

  1. 1

    Physical process

    Cutting, grinding and forming on real equipment.

  2. 2

    Sensing & data

    Signals and parameters captured from the process.

  3. 3

    Process models

    Process knowledge turned into models.

  4. 4

    Industrial decision

    Parameters and actions recommended to the line.

  5. 5

    Production feedback

    Results return to improve the process.
