Can Ahmet Demir, a 4th-year Computer Engineering student at Kastamonu University, has achieved significant success with his project accepted to the Artificial Intelligence Academic Thesis Program (ATP) carried out within the scope of the Defence Industry Artificial Intelligence Talent Cluster (SAYZEK). The project aims to increase Turkey's artificial intelligence competencies to contribute to developing the defense industry.
In his thesis study titled 'Predictive Maintenance and Production Efficiency Optimisation in Factories,' which was prepared under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kemal Akyol Demir aims to predict the failure risks of machines, especially for the defense industry, through sensor data. The project also seeks to reveal the possible causes of malfunctions with explainable artificial intelligence methods. In this way, it is expected that the maintenance of the machines will be carried out more efficiently and on time, and the production processes will become more efficient.
Our Rector, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Topal, stated that Can Ahmet Demir's national recognition at the national level contributed to the academic development of our University.
Our Rector stated that the successes achieved by our students in such projects make a significant contribution to both the personal development of the students and the achievement of Kastamonu University's scientific and technological goals. Our Rector also congratulated Demir and his advisor, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kemal Akyol, and thanked the President of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), Prof. Dr. Erol Özvar, and the President of the Presidency of Defence Industry, Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün for their contribution to the project.
