”In our collaboration with IMMS, we particularly appreciate the expertise in the field of sensor data acquisition and processing, the high application orientation of the solutions and the constructive contacts with its employees – not least when working together on site on machines and equipment.”
”We as GFE – Gesellschaft für Fertigungstechnik und Entwicklung Schmalkalden e.V. (Society for Production Technology and Development Schmalkalden) are an industry-oriented research institution that offers our customers complete tool solutions. For over 30 years, we have been developing product and technology solutions for companies together with our partners, while at the same time taking a practical and demand-oriented approach to implementation. For this purpose, we have a large partner network and are involved in numerous projects in research, development and industry every year. As part of this, we also maintain long-standing relationships with IMMS. As partners in the Mittelstand 4.0 Competence Centre Ilmenau and in the new Mittelstand Digital Centre Ilmenau, GFE and IMMS have been jointly supporting SMEs in their digital transformation for more than six years.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in digitalisation. In our view, AI technology also has great application potential for machining processes and the associated tools. Combined with suitable sensor systems and process-related data processing systems, AI enables, for example, solutions for in-process quality assurance in precision metalworking or for wear predictions in cutting tools. We therefore turned to IMMS with its expertise in the development and application of intelligent sensor systems, embedded electronics solutions and AI to investigate the boundary conditions and concrete solution approaches for the use of AI in this domain as part of various research and implementation projects. In addition to scientific publications, this also resulted in demonstrators that can provide SMEs with a practical insight into the possibilities of AI.
In our collaboration with IMMS, we particularly appreciate the expertise in the field of sensor data acquisition and processing, the high application orientation of the solutions and the constructive contacts with its employees – not least when working together on site on machines and equipment. We are in regular exchange with IMMS and are constantly developing new ideas and starting points for the use of current digital technology and, in particular, AI in tools and tooling machines. We look forward to tackling the next topics together.”
