About Units_of_Measure_Harmonization-intelligence-platform

The Units of Measure Harmonization Intelligence Platform is a production-grade machine learning system designed to automate the detection and correction of Unit of Measure errors in manufacturing and procurement data. Built on KNIME Analytics Platform 4.5 or higher, the system achieves 88 to 92 percent accuracy with 94 percent operational autonomy. It addresses critical issues such as order fulfillment disasters, inventory chaos, supply chain disruptions, financial losses, and compliance violations caused by misplaced decimals or incorrect units. The platform utilizes an ML classification engine powered by XGBoost with over 60 engineered features and processes up to 3,300 records per minute. It incorporates NIST-compliant physics-based validation rules and a Q-learning reinforcement learning agent for high-level automation. A key feature is the interactive visual dashboard integrated directly into the workflow, which provides real-time error detection, confidence scoring, auto-correction tracking, root cause

Units of Measure Harmonization Intelligence Platform

Production-Grade ML System for Automated UOM Error Detection

Quick Start | Demo | Features | Docs | Contribute

Manufacturing and procurement organizations lose millions annually due to Unit of Measure (UOM) errors.

A single misplaced decimal or wrong unit causes:

Order fulfillment disasters (50kg vs 50lbs)
Inventory chaos (overstocking/understocking)
Supply chain disruptions (wrong quantities shipped)
Financial losses (incorrect billing, waste)
Compliance issues (regulatory violations)

Visual Dashboard Demo

Real-time visual dashboard showing UOM error detection, classification, and correction in action

Dashboard Features

The interactive visual dashboard provides:

Real-time error detection - See UOM issues as they're identified
Confidence scoring - ML probability (0-100%)
Auto-correction tracking - Watch the system fix errors
Root cause analytics - Understand WHY errors occur
Intuitive visualizations - Color-coded, charts, statistics
Performance metrics - Speed, accuracy, autonomy

Built into the KNIME workflow - zero additional setup needed!
