AI solution finder – AI-Powered Knowledge Management for Industrial Engineering

Overview

The Toolbox Lean 4.0 is a comprehensive knowledge management tool designed for Industrial Engineering in manufacturing companies. It provides a structured collection of solution modules, including methods, technologies, and use cases. A key component is a set of nine technology briefs on Artificial Intelligence (AI), complemented by numerous practical use cases demonstrating AI applications.

Challenges

– Increased complexity in productivity management due to digital transformation

– Industrial Engineering requires modern, systematic problem-solving support

– The Toolbox Lean 4.0 serves as a valuable knowledge base with hundreds of solution modules, particularly in AI.

Solution: Identifying AI Applications with the Toolbox Lean 4.0

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are guided through a structured process by experts from Fraunhofer IPA. Starting with production-related challenges, they are systematically led to identify suitable AI solutions and corresponding example applications (use cases).

Expected results:

Report with recommendations and profiles of identified solution elements

Methodology:

The assessment is based on a five-step method by Fraunhofer IPA, carried out in a workshop format. Starting with production-related problems as inputs, companies are systematically led to identify suitable AI solutions and corresponding example applications (use cases).

Target:

Industrial engineers, systems engineers, manufacturing companies
