AI4ScaDa at the it's OWL Strategy Conference 2023

At the it's OWL strategy conference, which took place on 21.03.2023 at the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum in Paderborn, a new strategy called "Industrie.Zero" was presented. The strategy relies on innovative technologies and intelligent systems to promote sustainable value creation in industry. The goal is to reduce resource consumption and minimise environmental impact without compromising competitiveness.

In addition to the presentation of the new "Industrie.Zero" strategy, numerous current projects were presented at the it's OWL strategy conference. Visitors had the opportunity to find out about the current status of the projects and to discuss them with those responsible for the projects. These interactive discussions gave visitors a deep insight into the various methods and solutions currently being developed in East Westphalia-Lippe.

The Institute Industrial IT (inIT) was represented together with the Center for Applied Data Science (CfADS) at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences with the AI4ScaDa project. The it's OWL innovation project AI4ScaDa researches special Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques that can be profitably used in the context of Scarce Data. In contrast to Big Data, Scarce Data refer to sparse or incomplete, but often precise data. The challenge, however, is that AI systems depend heavily on data’s quality and quantity. If only very sparse data are available, many AI processes can hardly keep up with human expertise. Current findings on AI and Scarce Data are being further developed in the project using three use cases from the companies SU Biotec, GEA and Miele.
