D-Wave helped Ford speed up car production 6 times thanks to a quantum computer
A quantum computer from the American company D-Wave Quantum Inc. has helped Ford's largest car plant in Europe significantly reduce production planning time.
A quantum computer from the American company D-Wave Quantum Inc. has helped Ford's largest car plant in Europe significantly reduce production planning time.
As Interesting Engineering reports , Ford Otosan’s plant in Turkey, which produces 1,500 vehicle variants on a single line, was having difficulty optimizing production processes. Previously, the company used traditional algorithms for planning, which took from 10 minutes to an hour.
However, with the introduction of D-Wave's quantum analytical approach, this process has been reduced to just 5 minutes. The quantum computer uses a method called quantum annealing, which represents the problem as an energy landscape and finds the most efficient solution by searching for the minimum energy level. This method uses the principles of quantum mechanics to solve complex mathematical problems, including optimization problems.
This is one of the first cases where quantum computing has shown its effectiveness in industrial processes. Earlier it was reported that IBM opened its first European data center in the German city of Ohningen at a cost of 290 million euros.
