AI in production

Artificial intelligence is becoming a key technology for industrial production. The Industrial AI research focus at ARENA2036 is investigating how intelligent algorithms and machine learning can make robotics and automation systems more powerful, flexible, and safer. The aim is to transfer AI technologies into practical industrial applications and tap into new innovation potential for production and mobility.

The session provides insights into current developments such as AI-supported robotics, digital twins, autonomous decision-making, and data-driven production systems. Concrete demonstrators and projects are used to show how AI enables adaptive production processes, improves human-robot interaction, and supports complex optimization tasks. A special focus is placed on the European project AI-MATTERS, which is establishing a test and experimentation infrastructure for AI applications in the manufacturing industry.

The aim is to give companies—especially SMEs—access to real-world test environments where AI solutions for production and automation can be developed, tested, and validated. The session will provide insights into current research projects and highlight opportunities for networking and collaboration within the ARENA2036 industrial AI ecosystem.
