5th network meeting

The 5th network meeting of the Smart Production Lab took place on June 14, 2023. The Lab's cooperation partners come together to discuss current topics with the team from the Institute of Industrial Management. At the beginning, the progress in the lab and current projects were presented to the cooperation partners. Dr. Vitaliy Mezhuyev presented an approach for the effective development of probabilistic hybrid semi-parametric models for model-based condition monitoring and acceleration of material development, which was developed as part of the Hybrid 20 Comet project. Philipp Buchner, BSc introduced the partners to the use of predictive analytics to increase efficiency in various areas using a microfactory. DI Raphael Hartner, MSc presented his project on data-based expert systems for higher process efficiency in PVC pipe production, which he is carrying out as part of his doctoral thesis with Pipelife and the Vienna University of Technology. DI Katharina Lackner and DI (FH) Helmut Ropin explained to the participants how waste management and processing can be digitalized as part of the FFG project ReWaste F. DI Josua Steger concluded with an introduction to FFG's Immersive Co-Creation (ICON), which deals with collaboration in a virtual space.
In the second block, the pain points of the participants were clustered in a moderated discussion and the trends identified were listed. During the subsequent informal get-together, further opinions on the topics were exchanged and the discussions deepened.
Thanks to those cooperation partners who took the time to discuss the joint collaboration, and perhaps it will work out for the others next time.
