1) The document discusses three cases using AI and data visualization in smart manufacturing. The first case involves real-time monitoring and early warning systems using anomaly detection and forecasting. The second case uses connected car and spare parts history data to predict future operations and costs. The third case applies algorithms like clustering and decomposition to disaggregate building energy consumption data from appliances. 2) Grazia Cazzin leads the Knowage Labs and Data & Analytics competency center at Engineering Group, with experience in enterprise applications, data warehousing, BI, and big data analytics for industries, finance, and public sectors. 3) Usability and reducing complexity are emphasized for effective data visualization and AI applications.
