  • GeProVar - Procedure for the operationalization of workload flexibility to handle fluctuations in demand in interlinked work systems of SMEs
    The GeProVar research project aims to develop both a method and a software demonstrator that SMEs can use to operationalize load flexibility and thus implement this capability in their own production system in line with requirements. This should make it possible to quickly select the optimum combination of load balancing measures to handle short-term fluctuations in demand. The efficient use of load balancing measures can reduce the need to maintain capacity reserves or invest in new capacity to build them up. Linking the operationalization of the individual measures, their prerequisites and their dependencies and synergies through combinations of measures should be used as a basis for evaluation and implementation, especially in SMEs.

  • ProKI - Demonstration and Transfer Network AI in Production (PROKINETZ) Location: Hanover
    The AI in Production Demonstration and Transfer Network (PROKINETZ) aims to promote the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often lack the resources to try out and promote the use of AI. To this end, Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) is establishing one of eight centers across Germany to test application scenarios. At the Hannover site, the focus is on the development of AI for separating manufacturing processes, where SMEs have access to six AI demonstrators related to manufacturing technology. The areas of application of the demonstrators range from automated quality control for grinding processes and on-site data acquisition to the demonstrator "Personnel resource planning for cross-process chain optimization" provided by the IFA. Based on AI approaches, the IFA demonstrator provides a targeted performance-optimized assignment (for high workloads) or a targeted learning-optimized assignment (for low workloads) as part of the allocation planning for machining employees and machine tools. In this way, employees can be precisely assigned to the machine tools in the entire machine park on site at the SME in work preparation or production planning.

  • Exzellenzcluster PhoenixD: Photnics, Optics, Engineering – Innovation Across Disciplines
    The Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD is a broad-based initiative to redefine the design and manufacturing of precision optics. It is based on the interweaving of optics design, optics simulation and advanced manufacturing methods into a single integrated platform to create custom and highly functional precision optical systems are designed and manufactured. Today, the manufacture and operation of such systems rely on complex multi-stage and often manual work and laborious adjustment. The associated high costs prevent their widespread use in the life sciences, in production technology, in sensor technology sensor technology and in daily life.
