IFW is a key partner of the consortium and contributes its extensive know-how in the application of AI in production. Among other things, a workshop on the topic of "AI assistance systems in production - implementing automated planning for autonomous manufacturing in practice" will be offered. In the practice-oriented workshop, participants will gain skills in building AI solutions in manufacturing, starting with the digitization of workpiece information during design, through AI-assisted planning of operations, to the implementation of a real manufacturing process with automated quality inspection.

The DAISEC experts are also on hand to advise on financing options and subsidies. The hub aims to build a regional innovation network by holding matchmaking events and contact events to connect companies with each other.
