AI/ML-based data analysis

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods, such as machine learning (ML), are already revolutionizing the analysis of production data: Advanced algorithms enable the interpretation of large and complex amounts of data so that insights can be gained and added value generated. Examples include improved quality and minimized waste through quality forecasts and optimized machine parameterization, minimized downtimes through real-time monitoring and maintenance forecasts or increased overall performance through automated decision-making processes.

By using AI in production, companies can thus optimize their use of resources, reduce waste or scrap and promote environmental sustainability. Fraunhofer IOSB develops innovative algorithms specifically for the special challenges of production, promotes economic and ecological goals and creates sustainable competitive advantages.

AI Systems Engineering

AI also requires a methodical, engineering-like approach if projects are to reach their goal, results are to be put into productive use and solutions, once implemented, are to remain in operation permanently.

Data-driven fault localization in process engineering

Alarm management helps to detect those process variables that are closest to the cause of the fault. The plant operator's attention can thus be focused on these variables and the cause of the fault can be localized efficiently.
