A model management platform for industry 4.0 – enabling management of machine learning models in manufacturing environments

Abstract

Industry 4.0 use cases such as predictive maintenance and product quality control make it necessary to create, use and maintain a multitude of different machine learning models. In this setting, model management systems help to organize models. However, concepts for model management systems currently focus on data scientists, but do not support non-expert users such as domain experts and business analysts. Thus, it is difficult for them to reuse existing models for their use cases. In this paper, we address these challenges and present an architecture, a metadata schema and a corresponding model management platform.
