    Human Machine Interfaces: The key to everything is AI – Interview with Karl Lehnhoff

    Human Machine Interfaces: The key to everything is AI – Interview with Karl Lehnhoff

    Today, our everyday life is full of technology. This technology wants to be operated, the human being must somehow interact with the device, the machine or the technical system: This is the field of human-machine interfaces, or HMI for short. With the complexity of the technologies that surround us every day, the need for Human Machine Interfaces that offer the most positive user experience possible is also increasing. Allied Market Research estimates that the global market for human-machine ...

    Predictive robots: our future assistants – Interview with Prof Elsa Kirchner

    Predictive robots: our future assistants – Interview with Prof Elsa Kirchner

    One of the greatest challenges in human-machine interfaces is natural interaction. Technology has already made great progress with solutions such as gesture and voice control. Recently, the focus has also turned to controlling machines by thought: brain-machine interfaces measure the brain’s EEG signals and derive control commands for computers, machines or robots from them. One of the pioneers in the use of EEG data for interaction with robotic systems is the German Research Center for Artif...

    How much flexibility is required in future factories?

    How much flexibility is required in future factories?

    For a long time – and in many places still today – line production with assembly lines and fixed cycles was considered the pinnacle of rational production. It promised high, repeatable quality and cost-effective production. But in the meantime, the focus is shifting away from the mass production of a specific item to products configured individually for customers with ever shorter delivery times. In the smart factory, flexibility is the trump card. At the same time, companies need to increase...

    How close are we to fully autonomous production?

    How close are we to fully autonomous production?

    A factory that works independently, that produces even the smallest batch sizes without human assistance, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and all this at significantly lower unit costs and much more efficiently than before – that is the vision of autonomous production. But how close is industry really to this vision today? And what does it actually take to make it work? In this episode we’ve been talking to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Jasperneite, Director of Fraunhofer IOSB-INA and Professor at Tech...

    Factory Automation – a challenge for functional safety?

    Factory Automation – a challenge for functional safety?

    In the smart factory, machines communicate with each other, control themselves and processes are becoming increasingly agile. At the same time, man and machine are working ever more closely together – the keyword being cobots. This also changes the requirements for functional safety – i.e. the protection of people and the environment from threats that can emanate from machines. Functional safety and security go hand in hand, addressing the comprehensive protection of physical and cyber aspect...

    Energising a sustainable industry – efficient, renewable and self-sufficient?

    Energising a sustainable industry – efficient, renewable and self-sufficient?

    As part of the Paris Climate Agreement, Europe has committed to limiting global warming to 1.5°C, if possible. To achieve this goal, industry must also make a substantial contribution to reducing emissions. In recent years, the focus has been on improving energy efficiency: according to Eurostat, industry was able to reduce energy consumption by 12.4% between 2007 and 2021. In the meantime, however, such a high level has been reached that in many areas a further increase in energy efficiency ...
