ITS.ML: Intelligente Technische Systeme der nächsten Generation durch Maschinelles Lernen

The primary objective of the research project is to bring machine learning (ML) for intelligent technical systems (ITS) to the whole value chain. This requires the development and transfer of the latest ML innovations to the key areas of application in ITS in order to bring ML technologies into products and production chains, and conversely, to raise the awareness of regional companies how and when ML can be integrated into agile business models and production chains. Coupled with the focus on the current application fields: learning assistance systems, cognitive plug and work, cognitive optimization and quality management, predictive maintenance, as well as ML and 5G, the concept of 'ML as a service' for ITS is advanced. The project can build on technical digitization strategies excellently initiated by regional small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the proven excellence of the participating partners in the ML field to realize the step towards the use of digital data by ML technologies.
