Technology Demonstrator: AI Integration in Injection Molding

The TF3820 TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Server is a high-performance service for executing trained AI models with the option of using hardware accelerators.

TE3860 TwinCAT 3 MLC Resource Pack is an extension package for the basic TE3850 TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator web application. If more computing time is required, for example for training further AI models, additional computing time can be flexibly obtained via this extension package.

TE3852 TwinCAT 3 MLC Signals and Time Series is an extension package for the basic TE3850 TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator web application. This extension enables creation of AI models for signals and time series, e.g. classification, anomaly detection, and forecasting.

TE3851 TwinCAT 3 MLC Computer Vision is an extension package for the basic TE3850 TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator web application. This extension allows AI models to be created for image processing, e.g. image classification.

The TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator automatically creates AI models based on data sets. These AI models can be optimized in terms of their accuracy and latency to ensure they run efficiently on Beckhoff Industrial PCs with TwinCAT products. The generated models can also be used as standardized ONNX models beyond the Beckhoff product range. For AI model execution with TwinCAT products, a PLCopen XML file with IEC 61131-3 code is created in addition to the model, which describes the complete AI pipeline and can be imported seamlessly into TwinCAT.
