Beyond Algorithms: Building Smarter Industrial AI with Engineering Insight

In the race to adopt Artificial Intelligence, industries often fall into the trap of thinking that AI equals algorithms. But as Professor Jay Lee reminds us, in his book Industrial AI, AI is fundamentally a cognitive science—one that must involve reasoning, learning, perception, and problem-solving. This distinction matters deeply in industrial settings, where false alarms, misdiagnoses, and…

Eyes in the Sky, Power from the River

Where technology meets nature for a cleaner tomorrow.

The river had long since changed its course, leaving behind a wide, cracked bed where nothing grew—until the panels came. Now, that forgotten riverbed pulses with power, lined with solar arrays soaking up the sun.

Ava stood at the edge of the site, tablet in hand, as her drone rose smoothly into the sky. She wasn’t just launching a machine—she was launching a mission. Every flight was part of a smarter way forward: Solar Drone Inspection.

Once upon a time, people walked these rows, searching for damaged cells and faulty connections under a scorching sun. But the drone? It flew over in minutes, capturing heat signatures, spotting inefficiencies, and reporting back with perfect precision.

Today, it flagged a panel running hot—something invisible to the naked eye. Ava logged it with a tap, already planning the fix. No ladders, no downtime, no guesswork. Just clean, intelligent action.

As the drone circled back and the riverbed shimmered beneath her, Ava smiled. This wasn’t just technology—it was stewardship. And the river, though quiet now, had found a new way to flow—into the grid, into the future.

Drones for Solar Panel Inspection: The Game-Changer in Solar Farm Maintenance

Manual inspections and SCADA systems are no longer enough for maintaining modern solar farms. Enter drones for solar panel inspection—an innovative solution that’s speeding up inspections, reducing costs, and improving accuracy across the U.S.

Traditional systems might detect performance drops, but they fail to pinpoint the exact problem. Drones equipped with thermal cameras and AI analytics can scan thousands of panels in just hours, identifying micro-cracks, hotspots, and underperforming panels that would otherwise go unnoticed.

In extreme environments like the Mojave Desert, drone technology has proven invaluable. Clearspot.ai, for instance, helped a Nevada solar farm cut inspection time by 80% while reducing energy loss—thanks to fast, real-time fault detection.

More than just aerial imaging, Clearspot.ai’s platform transforms drone footage into actionable insights. This means faster maintenance, smarter servicing, and improved ROI. As the solar industry scales, drone inspections are not just a trend—they’re the new standard.

Losses Aren’t Just Numbers.

They’re the Hidden Language of Pumping Systems.

Most engineers classify head losses—whether static, friction, or velocity—as simple design constants. But in critical water systems, losses are more than numbers; they’re real-time indicators of system performance, efficiency shifts, and potential operational risks.

Let’s redefine how we interpret losses.

◾ Static Head: Often viewed as stable, yet in systems with variable tank levels or tidal influence, this "stability" can mask dynamic shifts—altering pressure distribution over time.

◾ Friction Losses: They rarely stay constant. Internal scaling, sediment buildup, or even biofilm accumulation can lead to creeping inefficiencies that go unnoticed.

◾ Velocity Head: Commonly neglected. In undersized systems or poorly balanced loops, even modest velocity surges can drastically elevate energy costs.

Here’s the deeper insight:

When the differential pressure (ΔP) across a pump increases without an increase in flow, that’s not coincidence—it’s a message.

◾ Early-stage internal fouling?

◾ Progressive valve degradation?

◾ Partial blockages?

All of these create hidden head losses that slowly erode efficiency and reliability—unless they’re actively monitored.

Field example:

In a coastal supply network, engineers observed a gradual 12% rise in differential pressure over several months—with stable flow conditions.

There was no direct alert, but historical trend data indicated a growing anomaly.

Upon inspection, biofilm buildup in an upstream pipeline segment was discovered—still in its early stage.

Timely intervention prevented further escalation and avoided service interruptions.

🔷️Recommended practice for professionals:

🔹️Log baseline ΔP readings during commissioning

🔹️Analyze long-term pressure trends, not just real-time values

🔹️ Utilize differential pressure sensors across key segments

🔹️ Integrate with system-level monitoring (e.g., SCADA or data acquisition platforms) to catch early drifts

🔹️View every head loss as a signal—not just a design number

✅ In advanced systems, head losses are not margins to tolerate.

They are silent indicators that, when understood, become powerful tools for decision-making.

Condition-Based Maintenance: How It Works & Why It Matters

Imagine if your car could tell you exactly when it needs an oil change rather than following a fixed schedule. Instead of guessing or changing the oil too early, you’d only do it when it’s actually necessary, saving time and money while keeping your engine in top shape. That’s the core idea behind Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) in industries.

CBM is a smart maintenance strategy that monitors the real-time condition of machines and equipment. Instead of performing maintenance on a fixed schedule (like every three months), CBM uses sensors and data analysis to determine when maintenance is truly needed. This approach helps prevent unnecessary servicing while avoiding unexpected breakdowns.

➥ How Does Condition-Based Maintenance Work?

CBM relies on real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making. Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:

✅ 1. Sensors Collect Real-Time Data

Machines are equipped with sensors that track critical performance indicators such as:

Temperature – Helps detect overheating issues.

Vibration – Identifies misalignments or wear in rotating equipment.

Pressure Levels – Ensures pumps, compressors, and hydraulic systems are working properly.

Oil Quality – Measures contamination or degradation in lubricants.

✅ 2. Data Is Analyzed to Detect Problems

The collected sensor data is continuously monitored and compared to normal operating conditions. If the system detects unusual behavior, like excessive vibration or rising temperature, it signals a potential issue.

For example, if a motor starts vibrating abnormally, it could indicate a misalignment, loose parts, or an upcoming failure. Maintenance teams receive an alert, allowing them to inspect and fix the issue before the motor breaks down.

✅ 3. Maintenance Is Performed When Needed

Instead of following a fixed maintenance schedule (which can either be too frequent or too late), CBM ensures maintenance is done only when the data suggests it's necessary. This reduces unnecessary downtime and repair costs while keeping machines running efficiently.
