Join us for a dynamic and informative event and hear from** ****Bitburger****, Sennheiser, Volkswagen, Miele, and Altair Experts** about resource saving initiatives, best practices for assembly planning, auto MLOps, effective ML model maintenance, and how simulation and AI can optimize manufacturing processes and the entire enterprise. This is your chance to network with industry leaders, learn from the best, and take your business to the next level. **Register today and be a part of the AI revolution!** **Presentations are given in English.** ## Why should you attend? - **Pioneering Perspectives: **Gain insights and knowledge on the latest trends and best practices in AI and data-driven decision-making in the manufacturing industry. - **Valuable Connections:** Meet top professionals, experts, and thought leaders in the field and make lasting, valuable connections. - **Unleash the Power of Data:** Gain insights and knowledge on harnessing the power of AI and data to drive business success in the manufacturing industry. ## AGENDA April 19th, 2023 ## 09:00 - 10:00 am ## Welcome Coffee ## 10:00 - 10:05 am ## AI for the Factory Floor How does machine learning become productive? **Mirko Bromberger **Director Marketing DACH / BENELUX, **Altair** *" ...**The value of data is not simply that you have it, but in how you use it ..."* ## 10:05 - 10:15 am ## Towards Frictionless Industrial AI The AI revolution is here! **Dr. Martin Liebig **Director Data Science, **Altair** ***Abtract:** The AI revolution is here. AI bots like Chat-GPT and YouChat dominate social media.  Even mainstream outlets report on this new "AI-Revolution". What does this mean for the shop floor? Why is not every factory ran by an AI?  * *The reality is different than the hype. While most companies want to invest into data analytics we still need to remark, that only 13% excel at delivering on their data strategy. A recent study by Forrester also found that only 13% of models get industrialized. This means that only one out of 8 companies succeed. In this talk, we will discuss the major road blocks which prevent traditional manufacturing to dive right into data analysis.* ## 10:15 - 10:40 am ## Improving Sustainability of Brewery Processes with the Help of AI Production process optimization through machine learning **Josef Kimberger **Head of Supply Chain Management (SCM) Data Management and Digitization, **Bitburger Braugruppe** **Ralf Klinkenberg **Founder & Head of Research, RapidMiner / Senior Director of Data Science Research, **Altair ** ***Abstract:*** *"... To scale AI applications in industrial operations, process engineers and brewers alike need to be empowered to embrace data analytics and machine learning!... "* *The talk will highlight process optimization examples for more efficient use of resources and raw materials, as well as applications to minimize raw material costs and environmental footprint.* *An outlook outlines ML applications for energy demand forecasting to avoid peak energy demands and reducing the overall energy consumption.* ## 10:40 - 11:05 am ## Data-Driven Analytics for Assembly Process Discovery and Benchmarking at Volkswagen AG **Christine Rese **Ph.D. Researcher, Industrial Engineering, **Volkswagen ** **Sven Krzoska **Technical Manager, **Volkswagen** **Edin Klapic **Lead Data Scientist, **Altair** ***Abstract:*** *In automotive manufacturing networks, vehicles are made up of mostly similar parts. Nevertheless, the assembly processes for these parts are often designed in a highly heterogeneous manner across different plants. This heterogeneity is mainly caused by the complexity of the existing plants, different manufacturing processes, complexity and variability of the products and the resulting mix of it during the combination in one specific assembly line. Due to those circumstances nearly no assembly line is the same in production networks. This makes identifying best practices for assembly processes a challenging task which requires a lot of manual effort. To address these issues, we have developed a data-driven approach for benchmarking and optimizing assembly processes. Our approach uses data mining techniques to identify similar assembly processes with a focus on built-in parts and areas for improvement in different assembly processes. The data-driven approach ensures process design consistency across manufacturing locations as well as the reuse and optimization of existing process knowledge within the product development process and series phase.* ## 11:05 - 11:30 am ## Auto MLOps ...? The Path to Productive ML Model Maintenance AI application for an autonomous PCB test station **Dr.-Ing. Petra Hildebrandt **Manager Production Platforms / Technologies,** Sennheiser Electronics** **Jörg Puschmann **Software Developer for Test Platform,** Sennheiser Electronics ** ***Abstract:*** *The IIP-Ecosphere project aims to bring AI into production. Sennheiser Electronics is part of this project and provides a demonstrator as an example of implementing AI in an autonomous PCB test station. Beyond the initial implementation, it is necessary to develop a sustainable system that includes monitoring AI performance and the ability to update AI models and create new ones.* ## 11:30 am - 12:00 pm ## Break ## 12:00 - 12:25 pm ## Thinking ahead and facilitating data science in quality management **Sebastian Pähler **Quality Engineer,** Miele** ***Abstract: ** **In the Akkord research project, we worked with our partners to develop Citizen Data Science solutions that facilitate data-driven analyses in quality management. The potential of this approach is demonstrated at Miele through analysis modules that can be used in business. The development of user-specific reports of key figures, visualisation of correlations and provision of analyses from existing networkable data sources is primarily carried out by quality management experts for their colleagues. Examples of these analysis modules and the first experiences from their creation and use will be presented in the lecture.* ## 12:25 - 12:50 pm ## AI-Powered Virtual Product Development  Evaluation of simulation results using machine learning ## Optimization of manufacturing processes with simulation and AI **Dr.-Ing. Moritz Frenzel **Technical Director Engineering Data Science,** Altair** ***Abstract:*** *The knowledge gained from the evaluation of simulation results often results more from the understanding of a component's behavior than from a scalar target value to be achieved.* *So how can we optimize a component to a desired behavioral pattern? How do you evaluate thousands of simulations in the context of an optimization study? * *This presentation will show an approach how to evaluate and optimize even complex behavior like a vehicle crash with the help of pattern recognition.* ## 12:50 - 1:15 pm ## Altair RapidMiner Cloud Democratizing AI applications in the enterprise **Claudio Keck **Data Analytics Solutions Specialist, **Altair** ***Abstract:*** *Experience Altair RapidMiner Cloud, the first holistic platform for democratizing the use of artificial intelligence.* *Gain insight into how the platform enables data analytics and AI applications in the enterprise to be available to all employees, ensuring the right person has access to the right data to make the right decision at the right time.* ## 1:15 - 1:45 pm ## Meet Your Tourguide The Altair RapidMiner experts will guide you to the Altair booth ## Walk and Talk: Guided Tour to the Altair Booth E40 in Hall 17 Exchange with speakers, peers, and Altair experts ## 1:45 pm ## Join Us for a Sustainable Coffee Experience Presented by Gruppo Cimbali Deepen the discussions and accept the challenge of the Data Invaders tournament. ## Featured Speakers ![Speaker Photo - Dr Petra Hildebrandt - Sennheiser Electronics](https://web.altair.com/hubfs/Speaker%20Photo%20-%20Dr%20Petra%20Hildebrandt%20-%20Sennheiser%20Electronics.jpg) #### Dr.-Ing.
