Production planning, logistics, maintenance, quality control – in industrial manufacturing, there are many areas where artificial intelligence is used. In practice, however, AI models are still rarely utilized. The reason: reliability is difficult to verify. New certification criteria can make AI su…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) optimizes processes and makes entire production more reliable, flexible, and resilient. How exactly this works will be demonstrated by researchers from the Fraunhofer IPA from April 12 to 16 at the Hannover Messe, which is taking place virtually this year.

Since the COVID…

Just before Easter, on March 30, 2021, the Fraunhofer IPA's Biointelligence Blog went online. In cooperation with scientists from Fraunhofer IGB, the Universities of Stuttgart and Hohenheim, as well as the NMI (Natural Science and Medical Institute) in Reutlingen, the blog provides weekly contributi…

With a series of ten studies, the Fraunhofer AI Progress Center demonstrates the potential benefits of AI applications across various sectors of industrial production and services. As part of the Cyber-Valley research consortium, the interdisciplinary research teams from the Fraunhofer Institutes IP…

To be able to use artificial intelligence, a company does not necessarily need an expert. A Fraunhofer study shows how small and medium-sized enterprises can proceed instead.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps optimize production processes and save money. However, small and medium-sized enterprises o…

The company F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG planned to purchase air purification devices for office and meeting rooms that lack mechanical ventilation in order to potentially reduce viruses present in the indoor air. The Steinbeis Transfer Center STZ EURO conducted a preliminary measurement analysis on five…

Smartphone, forklift, electric car – efficient energy storage systems are essential to transition from fossil fuels to clean electricity. The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart has now launched a project together with partners to make battery cell prod…

In the manufacturing of tomorrow, autonomous systems will support humans with data-driven analyses and smart solution patterns during value-generating tasks. At the “International Open Lab Day” on April 16, 2021, guests will have the opportunity to learn all about the benefits offered by Artificial…

Can ventilation and air purification systems protect against Covid-19? How must they be designed for this purpose? And how should hygiene and ventilation concepts be structured to reduce virus transmission via aerosols? Answers to these questions are provided by a research team from the Fraunhofer I…

The AI Progress Center "Learning Systems" of the Fraunhofer IAO and Fraunhofer IPA supports companies as part of Cyber Valley to leverage the economic opportunities of AI. In 44 projects, feasibility studies and solutions for practical application have already been developed. With funding totaling €…
