Project Cluster DiMaWert
Digitisation of material development along the value chains
Current funded project
Motivation
Methods of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is developing rapidly and is used in more and more areas of technology and development. Particularly in the case of adaptive algorithms, the use of special neural networks has already been very successful. An established field of activity of AI is pattern recognition in complex data sets. Due to the further development of sensor technology, such data increasingly accumulate during material development and production. Numerous other AI methods are available for different tasks.
Objective
The stages of the value chain with potential for AI methods
Application of AI methods in the sub-projects of DiMaWert
The benefits of AI methods should be tested at all stages of the value chain. Different AI methods are to be used in other DiMaWert sub-projects as examples, compared with conventional techniques and, if successful, established. Among other things, AI techniques will enable top-down modelling of material and process properties according to specified application requirements.
Approach
Bottom-up versus Top-down-Design
- Selection of use cases for different stages of the value chain
- Identification of appropriate AI methods
- Exemplary implementation and evaluation
- Development of an application concept in the context of other systematic testing techniques
- Development of external cooperation with AI experts
- Further training of HTL employees and development of application competence
