Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPTThe EU Commission has presented an ambitious strategy for how Europe can become more independent from the rest of the world, and especially from the market leader, the US, when it comes to artificial intelligence. Industry and research are now called upon to work together to act and achieve these ambitious goals.
What does artificial intelligence offer industry?
According to the Federal Statistical Office, one in five companies in Germany already uses AI technologies, but most frequently generative AI for the creation and analysis of written language and speech recognition or images, for example to support marketing and sales.
As a production technology research institute, we focus on applied artificial intelligence that allows computer-controlled machines, systems, and robots to perform tasks in real production environments. Applied AI offers enormous potential for sustainably improving production processes: lower costs, higher product quality, and increased flexibility and resilience for the entire company.
Intelligent use of artificial intelligence
It is particularly important to us to use artificial intelligence algorithms in the right places and in an efficient manner: we consider each company individually, depending on its size, industry, and unique challenges. To do this, we use proven scientific methods to identify ideal AI use cases and implement suitable processes and algorithms in the production environment.
Building expertise and supporting data science teams within the company is also part of our AI offering. Our long-standing collaboration with software development experts in daily project work provides a solid foundation for this.
