Conferences and Seminars

Look forward to a varied weekend full of challenges, networking and exciting insights into our work. Together with our staff and our partners from the International Center for Networked, Adaptive Production, you will face the challenges of Industrie 4.0 in a real manufacturing environment and use your coding knowledge, technical skill and team spirit to solve them.

The Aachen Polymer Optics Days 2022 offer an excellent networking platform for participants from industry and research interested in a lively exchange on the manufacturing possibilities and application potentials of optical plastic products.

During the seminar, you will learn, which steps are necessary to implement AI in production using concrete use cases as examples. The individual steps are accompanied by practical exercises in which you as a participant preprocess data sets, train ML algorithms and evaluate the results of these models yourself using the Python programming language.

With low latencies and high data rates, 5G offers enormous potential for production: processes can be continuously monitored and documented, and process flows can be designed adaptively in real time. Through the intelligent interaction of the 5G network with local edge cloud systems, end-to-end real-time applications can be implemented in a scalable manner - from the sensor to the cloud. In this seminar, we would like to talk about the possibilities and economic benefits of the technology in order to make an informed decision about whether 5G could also be worthwhile for your production.

The online seminar will provide an overview of the current state of research in laboratory automation, starting with biological fundamentals of stem cell cultivation and differentiation and ending with overcome deficits of manual production procedures. Practical use cases will also be presented, along with the challenges and trends in automated stem cell production and differentiation.

In this free online seminar, we present selected application examples to show you how you can use OCT in laser welding processes: for adaptive focus positioning, for topological structure recognition and for tomographic detection of through-welds. An overview of data and evaluation strategies and the direct transfer into process cycle complete the information on the application of OCT.

In this seminar, benefits of AutoML systems are presented and when AutoML systems can be applied in production. Based on introductions into the topic ML and AI, its tools and methodologies, ML models are implemented manually. Then, AutoML tools are benchmarked with the manual implementation and influencing factors on the performance of AutoML tools are discussed. Finally a tool for selecting the right AutoML tool will be presented.
