LIVE UPDATE
Scenario A
✓ Green — Continue Production
● STATUS: GREEN
Failure Index: OK ✓ Springback: OK ✓
▸
Production Runs
No adjustments needed
● PROCEED WITH PRODUCTION
Scenario B
⚠ Yellow — Adjust Cushion Force
● STATUS: YELLOW
⚠ CF: 1000 → 1200 kN
▸
Auto-Adjusted
1000 → 1200 kN
▸
Corrected
Production resumes
● CF AUTO-IMPLEMENTED TO PRESS
Scenario C
✕ Red — Escalation Path
⚠ CF Adjustment Did Not Resolve
📞 Operator Contacts Technician
🔍 Technician: GO / NO-GO Decision
✓ GO Continue with caution
✕ NO-GO Escalate further

Adaptability
Transfer Learning — New Parts, Faster
Every car part has unique geometry. Retraining the AI model from scratch for each new part would require hundreds of costly FE simulations. Transfer learning solves this.
Base Model
Trained on Part A e.g. Sill Inner
▸
Transfer & Fine-Tune
Freeze early layers Retrain final layers
▸
New Part Model
e.g. B-Pillar · Door Inner Minimal new simulations
● 80–90% fewer simulations needed
● Rapid deployment for new parts
