Google Co-Founder Larry Page&#8217;s Startup Dynatomics to Bring AI to Manufacturing
Google co-founder and former CEO Larry Page is reportedly building a new startup called ‘Dynatomics’, which is focused on integrating artificial intelligence in product manufacturing, as per The Information. The startup is led by Chris Anderson, the former CTO of electric airplane company Kittyhawk, which had Page as a lead investor. Dynatomics, which consists of a small group of engineers, aim to create ‘highly optimised’ designs for products and then get them manufactured in factories. It will be interesting to see how Page’s approach towards building a startup at the intersection of manufacturing, design, and AI pays off. Page was Google’s CEO from April 2011, to October 2015, and currently serves as a member of Alphabet’s board of directors. Currently, Page’s net worth exceeds $150 billion, and is the eighth richest individual worldwide, as per Bloomberg. The use of AI in manufacturing industries offers a vast potential for optimisations. A report from IBM last year states that AI, and machine learning, along with computer vision and natural language processing, do improve several aspects of the manufacturing process. “AI can analyse large volumes of data from sensors, equipment and production lines to optimise efficiency, improve quality and reduce downtime. By using algorithms to identify patterns in data, AI can anticipate potential issues, suggest improvements and even autonomously adapt processes in real-time,” read the report. A few weeks ago, Swedish multinational engineering company Sandvik, revealed that a tool called ‘Manufacturing Copilot’ was made available to customers. “The use of this generative AI tool in manufacturing simplifies the user experience on Computer Aided Manufacturing software,” said the company. Recently, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced a collaboration with Salesforce to enhance the use of artificial intelligence in the manufacturing and semiconductor sectors. Similarly, several startups from Y-Combinator have emerged that aim to help engineers manage their manufacturing feasibility, and use AI-powered CAD design. One startup also claims to be building the ‘world’s first AI mechanical engineer.’
