Documentation is the mantra for opensource hardware communities. This was found by the OPEN.Effect study, which evaluated ventilator manufacturing projects.

Fraunhofer IPK supported a globally active pharmaceutical company in establishing a learning factory in Berlin. It is helping to implement Lean methods and train employees in their application.

When it comes to maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), mobile decision support applications are all the rage. With the help of AI, they are becoming more flexible – and more predictive.

Artificial intelligence requires large quantities of data? Not necessarily, say scientists at Fraunhofer IPK. They use visual quality control for industrial goods to show how it can work.

Data evaluation methods are omnipresent in our daily lives. They also provide compelling solutions to problems during manufacturing and assembly, as demonstrated by a pilot project with Rolls Royce in Germany.

Brain research and technological development are driving each other forward. With the help of neuro-inspired technologies, supercomputers, and artificial intelligence, we can continuously deepen our understanding of the complexity of the human brain.

With simulation models, products can be better analyzed and developments predicted. A research team has developed an AI-based decision support system which increases proess efficiency.

From the physical object to the point cloud and finally the CAD model – reverse engineering means a great deal of work. A team from Fraunhofer IPK aims to change that with an AI solution.

In Berlin’s Siemensstadt², researchers are getting tomorrow’s production lines off the ground. Spoiler: artificial intelligence will play a key role!
