Solution
Epiroc created an ESML AI Factory on Microsoft Azure, using Azure Machine Learning, Azure Data Factory and Azure Databricks. Using ESML, an open-source solution accelerator created by Microsoft Sweden, and with help from Microsoft Cloud Partner Program member Molnbolaget, Epiroc quickly established the AI factory with secure private networking; the entire process took just 60 hours. The team also created machine learning models specifically for the heat treatment process with an end-to-end pipeline to the AI factory, all in just six weeks. The models predict steel density, hardness and flexibility for rock drilling tools under various conditions. Epiroc also had help from Microsoft Cloud Partner Program member Sogeti in running automation in AI governance.
