Artificial intelligence in production

Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, offers approaches and methods that can sustainably improve production – by reducing costs, increasing quality, and gaining flexibility and resilience for the entire company. Machine learning methods can also help to sustainably optimize processes.

Manufacturing companies are already implementing more and more pilot applications of artificial intelligence. Its importance for production is steadily increasing: according to a study by the management consultancy "Accenture", 84 percent of all executives believe that they will not achieve their growth targets if they do not implement AI across the board in the company. For this reason, Fraunhofer IPT developed a portfolio of services some time ago that has already been successfully tested and deployed in manufacturing companies of various sizes.

Fraunhofer IPT selects suitable AI use cases across industries and implements them in the production environment. Building up expertise and supporting data science teams in the company are also among the possibilities for collaboration around the topic of AI. Our many years of collaboration with experienced software developers in daily project work form a solid foundation for this.

Decision support: AI application, machine learning and big data

If you want to find out whether your applications can benefit from the use of artificial intelligence, good information is the key: Which applications already exist? Which algo-rithms can be adapted to your tasks? And how do you train the AI so that it outputs the right results? We know the application areas and solution approaches you can work with.

 

Where is artificial intelligence worthwhile?

Medium-sized companies in particular are often faced with the question of whether the investment is worthwhile. With the "AI Kick-Starter Bundle" we support your decision.
