In the production work of the future, autonomous systems will support people through data-based analyzes and intelligent solution patterns for value-adding activities. Experts from the two Fraunhofer institutes IPA and IAO in Stuttgart will show their guests at the "International Open Lab Day" on April 16, 2021 the benefits that artificial intelligence (AI) can bring. In the future, AI could identify potential for optimization, make fitters' work easier or set up personnel deployment plans: These are just a few examples of how AI can help make production more resilient and flexible. However, this does not mean that the human being becomes an assistant to the algorithms, but remains the director of the processes, works efficiently in an adaptive environment and no longer has to take on so many control tasks. Digital technologies help to make production work more human-centered.

Experience the look and feel of the industrial workplace of the future: Adaptive assistance systems, collaboration between human and large industrial robots, smart sensors and virtual industrial engineering. We are opening our doors to international guests for a tour through our Future Work Lab. You will be able to visit our large Demonstrator World and talk to our experts about innovations of Industrie 4.0, artificial intelligence and the smart factory of the future. Find out what the future workplace of manufacturing might look like during a free visit or a guided tour through our Demonstrator World. We will be happy to welcome you at our campus in Stuttgart!
