Drishti 이사회의 설립자이자 회장인 Prasad Akella박사는 기술을 사용하여 인간의 능력을 확장하는 세 번째 거대한 시장 카테고리를 만들고 있습니다. 1990년대에 프라사드는 세계 최초의 협동 로봇 (‘cobots’, 2025년까지 120억 달러의 시장이 될 것으로 예상되는 예상됨 코봇)을 개발한 제너럴 모터스 팀을 이끌었습니다. 2000년대 초, 소셜 네트워킹의 선구자인 Spoke의 공동 설립자로서, 현재 수조 달러의 가치를 가진 거대한 소셜 그래프를 구상하고 그 구축을 지원했습니다. 현재는 Drishti에서 AI 기반 생산이라는 형태로, AI의 인식력과 공장에서의 인간의 유연성을 조합하는 것에 임하고 있습니다. Prasad는 캘리포니아 마운틴 뷰에 기반을 두고 있습니다.
Earlier this week, the National Association of Manufacturers shared its list of 2021 Manufacturing Leadership Award winners. We were absolutely delighted to be recognized in the Manufacturing Technology Partner category. Very early in the company’s history, Drishti’s mission statement was solidified in my mind:
“Extending human potential in an increasingly automated world.”
We continue to build Drishti around this principle today. We use innovations like computer vision, artificial intelligence and our own proprietary neural networks to put the plant team front and center, elevating the work they do and empowering manufacturing teams to grow, influence and achieve more. Drishti is giving them the right insights they need at the right time to make higher quality, bigger impact decisions. We’ve seen that exact scenario in action dozens of times when we were able to travel to our customers’ factories; since COVID-19, we’ve heard stories from our customers and seen the footage with our own eyes through the Drishti portal.
It’s rewarding for others to see the promise of Drishti, along with the very real benefits we deliver to customers today.
But I have to be honest. What I’m most excited about with this news is the awards our customers received.
Ford Motor Company and HELLA, and Raja Shembekar with DENSO, were recognized not for having Drishti in their factories, but for the transformational change they were able to make happen because of Drishti. For the openness they showed in adopting a technology that would change the old way of doing things, to the benefit of their line associates, team leaders, industrial and quality engineers and plant managers. For the care and attention to detail with which they deployed our cameras. For the enthusiasm they demonstrated in learning how to use the gobs of data that were now available to them because of our AI. For the innovation they demonstrated themselves using that data — often in ways we never thought of — that resulted in massive savings or improvements on the factory floor. For their willingness to share these achievements with others.
Starting a new company is hard. Creating a new category of company is almost impossible. But working with fellow visionaries and leaders who see not only the technology, but the potential that technology has to change their lives, is unspeakably fulfilling. It makes the hard parts worth it.
I look forward to the next stage of bringing transformational, game-changing technology to manufacturing leaders, and improving the lives of line associates and plant teams in factories around the world.
