Next Level Mittel\u00adstand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next Level Mittel\u00adstand is a collab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtive plat\u00adform that brings together small and medium-sized enter\u00adprises, star\u00adtups, and IT experts to jointly develop digital solu\u00adtions for day-to-day manu\u00adfac\u00adturing \u2013 initi\u00adated and supported by SCHUNK. The focus is on hands-on collab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion: compa\u00adnies share their expe\u00adri\u00adences and, working in small teams, develop specific appli\u00adca\u00adtions and \u201cquick wins\u201d that ulti\u00admately benefit all members.

Project: Product Carbon Foot\u00adprint<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The easy way to calcu\u00adlate carbon emis\u00adsionsg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What is the carbon foot\u00adprint of your product \u2013 that is, all green\u00adhouse gas emis\u00adsions gener\u00adated throughout the entire product life cycle? This is an impor\u00adtant ques\u00adtion when it comes to a company\u2019s own sustain\u00adability goals and future reporting require\u00adments. However, small and medium-sized enter\u00adprises in partic\u00adular often feel uncer\u00adtain in this regard: they face high pres\u00adsure, have little time, and have access to very little stan\u00addard\u00adized data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cProduct carbon foot\u00adprint\u201d project has devel\u00adoped a prag\u00admatic approach for system\u00adat\u00adi\u00adcally and effi\u00adciently calcu\u00adlating carbon foot\u00adprints across a product port\u00adfolio and commu\u00adni\u00adcating the results in a stan\u00addard\u00adized manner. This quickly turns a chal\u00adlenging require\u00adment into a manage\u00adable process for small and medium enter\u00adprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPAI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

IPAI (Inno\u00adva\u00adtion Park Arti\u00adfi\u00adcial Intel\u00adli\u00adgence) is an inno\u00adva\u00adtion ecosystem and a Euro\u00adpean hub for AI tech\u00adnology in Heil\u00adbronn. There, compa\u00adnies, research insti\u00adtu\u00adtions, and public sector stake\u00adholders collab\u00ado\u00adrate to develop and imple\u00adment AI appli\u00adca\u00adtions. IPAI supports orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions in their AI trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion and promotes collab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion, inno\u00adva\u00adtion, and educa\u00adtion while advo\u00adcating for a human-centered, respon\u00adsible use of AI in Europe. SCHUNK has been involved as a strategic partner right from the outset.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Preserving expe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adtial knowl\u00adedge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to preserve the knowl\u00adedge of employees who are retiring or trans\u00adfer\u00adring to another depart\u00adment by system\u00adat\u00adi\u00adcally capturing and digi\u00adtizing implicit, previ\u00adously undoc\u00adu\u00admented expert knowl\u00adedge. Gener\u00ada\u00adtive AI uses features such as voice input and real-time follow-up ques\u00adtions to system\u00adat\u00adi\u00adcally elicit knowl\u00adedge and make it avail\u00adable in a clearly struc\u00adtured format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps prevent knowl\u00adedge loss due to retire\u00adment or extended absences, and breaks down silos. An AI-powered demon\u00adstrator trans\u00adforms this wealth of data into easy-to-use models that can then be used, for example, to simplify the onboarding and training of new employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The over\u00adar\u00adching goal of this busi\u00adness, govern\u00adment, and research initia\u00adtive is to stan\u00addardize, simplify, and \u2013 ideally \u2013 auto\u00admate commu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion and data transfer between compa\u00adnies in different indus\u00adtries \u2013 whether along the supply chain or between suppliers and part\u00adners. SCHUNK acts as an inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive driving force \u2013 with a wide reach in the SME sector. The digi\u00adtal\u00adiza\u00adtion initia\u00adtive strengthens compa\u00adnies\u2019 compet\u00adi\u00adtive\u00adness, resilience, and sustain\u00adability of compa\u00adnies \u2013 thus boosting of the Euro\u00adpean economic area as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devel\u00adoping easily together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFactory\u2011X\u201d is an emerging open, inter\u00adop\u00ader\u00adable data ecosystem for industry. Within this frame\u00adwork, the \u201cCollab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtive engi\u00adneering\u201d subpro\u00adject provides a solu\u00adtion for cross-orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtional collab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion in devel\u00adop\u00adment and change processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to exchange product data, require\u00adments, and engi\u00adneering arti\u00adfacts throughout the supply chain in a struc\u00adtured manner while main\u00adtaining data sover\u00adeignty. Stan\u00addard\u00adized data models and secure data rooms make it possible to collab\u00ado\u00adrate on prod\u00aducts in real time and coor\u00addi\u00adnate changes. This signif\u00adi\u00adcantly shortens devel\u00adop\u00adment cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
