The project involved the company <strong>Prounion<\/strong> <strong>a.s.<\/strong> in cooperation with <strong>Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra,<\/strong> as well as additional academic partners from the Czech Republic and Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern production lines generate enormous volumes of data\u2014from machine states and operating speeds to temperatures and production counts. Despite this, key operational decisions are still often made based on experience and intuition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers focused on a real production line for filled pasta products, where the product passes through a fixed sequence of machines\u2014from raw material preparation, through forming and filling, to thermal processing and packaging. They identified two decisions with a critical impact on production efficiency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Early warning:<\/strong> Is it possible to predict whether the packaging machine will stop within the next 10 minutes?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In-shift planning:<\/strong> Can it be reliably determined during the working day whether packaging will still take place later the same day?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Answering these questions required working with large volumes of time-series data while strictly respecting real production conditions\u2014models were allowed to use only the information that is genuinely available at a given moment to an operator or shift supervisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research team first unified data from all machines into a single time axis and processed it to accurately reflect the real operation of the production line. They then developed machine-learning models that worked exclusively with information available at the given moment\u2014exactly as an operator or shift manager would have it in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key milestone of the project was access to high-performance computing resources. <strong>NSCC Slovakia<\/strong> facilitated access for the research team to the European <strong>EuroHPC<\/strong>supercomputing infrastructure, specifically to the <strong>Karolina <\/strong>supercomputer in the Czech Republic. This made it possible to rapidly experiment with different models, test them on real production days, and validate their behavior under conditions close to real industrial practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The supercomputer thus became not just a technical tool, but a key driver of innovation, enabling the transition from theoretical analytics to decisions that can be used in real operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The model focused on <strong>early warning of packaging machine stoppages<\/strong> achieved very high accuracy. It was able to reliably identify situations in which a stoppage was likely within the next 10 minutes, while keeping the number of false alarms to a minimum. This means the alerts are trustworthy and do not overwhelm operators with unnecessary warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second model, designed for <strong>in-shift planning<\/strong>, was able with high reliability to determine whether packaging would still take place later the same day. Managers thus gained a practical basis for decisions related to staffing, work planning, and efficient use of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both approaches share a common principle: they do not predict abstract numbers, but instead answer concrete questions that production teams face every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Impact and future potential<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This success story shows that artificial intelligence in industry does not have to be a futuristic experiment. When analytics is focused on real operational decisions and supported by the right infrastructure, it can become a quiet and reliable assistant to production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is easily extendable to other production lines and sectors. Looking ahead, additional data\u2014such as product types, planned maintenance, or shift schedules\u2014can be integrated, allowing models to be even more precisely tailored to the specific needs of companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The key message is clear:<br><\/strong>When data, artificial intelligence, and supercomputers are aligned with real industrial needs, the result is solutions with immediate practical value.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><br><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-5 wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/success-stories\/\">Success-Stories<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"display-posts-listing grid\"><div class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/en\/umela-inteligencia-a-superpocitac-ako-nova-zbran-proti-ekologickym-havariam\/\"><img width=\"300\" height=\"164\" src=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kl-300x164.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kl-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kl-768x420.png 768w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kl-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kl.png 908w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/en\/umela-inteligencia-a-superpocitac-ako-nova-zbran-proti-ekologickym-havariam\/\"><strong>Artificial Intelligence and a Supercomputer as a New Weapon Against Environmental Disasters<\/strong><\/a> <span class=\"date\">26 Mar<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt-dash\">-<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt\">Scientists from Nitra, Slovakia are teaching machines to predict industrial failures before they can cause damage.
