Issue: Data

The first draft rarely is the final one in product development. With the help of artificial intelligence, this labor-intensive but essential stage can be accelerated.

Data from manufacturing processes is used to evaluate process quality. Often, only a fraction of the available data points is sufficient, but they must be the right ones.

Zero-defect manufacturing is a key to a sustainable economy. GreenDelta's life cycle assessments support companies in this endeavor, even when dealing with massive products like ship engines.

Not all 5G networks are created equal - because industrial applications need to be tested under industrial conditions. For this purpose, PTZ Berlin is providing a campus network.

Within the framework of the research project BioFusion 4.0, data-driven solutions for a more sustainable and resource-efficient production are being developed at Fraunhofer IPK – inspired by principles from nature.

The more complex a product, the more challenging the dismantling of its components becomes. Fraunhofer IPK’s CE Assistant identifies the optimal strategy in each case.

Big Data is considered the gold standard when it comes to AI. However, high-quality datasets lead to better insights than sheer amounts of data.

Non-invasive real-time quality control in additive manufacturing processes has long been wishful thinking. Researchers can now collect data and inspect parts during processing without destroying them.

Today, those who develop complex products do so using data and collaborative methods. Gaia-X aims to provide the framework for this.

The Managing Directors of the Business Associations Berlin-Brandenburg, Alexander Schirp and Sven Weickert, explain how digitalization will change the automotive industry.

Efficient data management and seamless process management play a decisive role in the success of companies. A Fraunhofer training course provides practical knowledge for PLM professionals.

Keeping emissions in focus: Benchmarking greenhouse gas emissions enables quick comparisons of sustainable business developments.

Circular Economy: Effective take-back management and recycling enable companies to not only save material costs but also reduce their ecological footprint.

A few years ago, The Economist boldly declared, "The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil but data". While previous industrial revolutions were defined by the dominance of fossil fuels, the age of Industry 4.0 revolves around data.

Faster from idea to prototype: The enVAR software accurately translates designs into virtual environments, enabling better collaboration within teams.
