A concise overview of the fundamentals of artificial intelligence in a manufacturing environment. Specific use cases from industrial practice. An AI maturity assessment to determine your current status: Where does your company stand today?

An interactive workshop on developing and prioritizing your own AI use cases (benefit-to-cost analysis). Networking and knowledge exchange with regional experts and other companies.

In cooperation with:

Artificial intelligence has long been more than just a topic for the future in industrial production. It already offers tangible benefits today—even for small and medium-sized enterprises. But where can AI be used effectively, and how can companies get started in a pragmatic way?
The workshop “AI in Production—Practical. Regional. Easy to Understand” is aimed at manufacturing companies that want to explore the topic of artificial intelligence in depth without being overwhelmed by technical jargon. Using real-world application examples, we’ll demonstrate how AI is already being successfully deployed in areas such as optical quality assurance, predictive maintenance, and knowledge management.
Together with Fraunhofer IGCV and XITASO GmbH, we’re bringing AI from theory into everyday operations. The event will take place in the Wandelhalle at the Sports and Event Center in Landsberg am Lech and deliberately focuses on an accessible, low-barrier, and application-oriented approach.
