This is proper use of machine learning as opposed to the idiocy we see in the west.

These systems are great at correlating a lot of data and noticing patterns, and then alerting humans to do stuff like proactive maintenance.

The researchers said that in a typical Xinjiang textile factory today, AI was monitoring every spindle rotation to alert operators or maintenance staff to inspect potential problems identified by vast data gathering from sensors. Because it continually learned and improved, AI could boost energy efficiency by coordinating devices and identifying any with unusually high consumption, cutting monthly power use by more than 1 per cent, the paper said. With AI also overseeing the quality of every yarn, intervening to prevent any flawed strands from progressing to the next stage of production, the “brain system” had achieved “global control of the factory”, Huang and his colleagues said.
