Integrate individual AI applications quickly and measurably optimize production processes

AI is not an end in itself. It becomes a decisive success factor for industry when deployed where it solves real challenges and creates tangible value. With AI in Manufacturing, German Edge Cloud helps you unlock the potential of artificial intelligence specifically for your production. Together, we identify the use cases with the greatest impact and integrate the right AI capabilities based on ONCITE DPS – creating tailored solutions for greater efficiency, better decisions, secured knowledge and lasting competitive advantages.

 
 

Digital Industrial Engineer

AI-powered automation for faster change processes, secured production knowledge and more efficient collaboration.

Product changes, variant complexity and complex processes increase coordination efforts in production. The Digital Industrial Engineer automates industrial change processes, analyzes the impact on bills of materials, roles and workflows, and provides relevant knowledge in context. This helps companies reduce errors, accelerate decisions and retain valuable experiential knowledge within the organization long-term.

AutomationThe Digital Industrial Engineer automatically analyzes product changes and accompanies the entire process – from the bill of materials to the finished documentation.

Decision SupportThe impact on processes, roles, and documents is transparently assessed, enabling faster and more informed decisions.

KnowledgeExperiential and process knowledge remains centrally available and can be provided to employees worldwide in context.

 
 
 

Benefits at a glance

  • Faster processes: Change processes are automatically analyzed and implemented significantly faster.
  • Higher quality: Transparent impacts and structured workflows reduce errors and increase process reliability.
  • Knowledge that stays: Critical experiential knowledge remains available within the company – independent of individual experts.
  • Scalability: Standardized and AI-supported processes can be efficiently rolled out and expanded across multiple locations.

Visual AI for visual quality inspection

With the use of AI, more and more production processes are being optimized and working environments are becoming more intuitive. Vision AI in particular is becoming increasingly relevant in production processes and especially in the area of QA. It reduces throughput and rework time and increases the quality of products, while at the same time reducing the use of resources.

AI-supported quality inspection - becoming a standard in production

The joint Vision AI solution from German Edge Cloud and IBM, which is very easy to integrate, brings all the benefits of AI-supported visual quality inspection. Seamless integration of additional plug-and-play hardware components such as cameras, edge computers and switches enables fully automated quality control of workpieces, including the detection of anomalies, defects and scratches or the inspection of assembly and cabling processes.

The AI is trained with photos, continues to learn and therefore delivers increasingly better results. The early, reliable and permanent detection of quality problems significantly reduces the costs of reworking or rejects, for example. 

 
 

AI use cases: Successful in use

When the eye gets tired, Visual AI remains sharp and alert.

Visual AI improves quality control in the industry through precise and continuous defect detection. With the implemented solutions in the area of QA, material surfaces are checked for damage and the completeness of accessories is checked fully automatically with AI support during the subsequent packaging process.

GenAI as intelligent assistance

There is great potential for optimizing your factory, for example, by implementing more intuitive workstations with intelligent worker assistants, especially when assembling customized items. In the past, employees had to laboriously leaf through assembly instructions, which cost time and could lead to errors in the process. Now, with the GenAI module of the ONCITE DPS, you get an intelligent and intuitive ChatBot that acts like an assistant and automatically and dynamically compiles the instruction templates to suit the assembly situation.

Generating new knowledge dynamically from data with Gen AI and making it tailor-made available

Generative AI provides context-sensitive support and instructions to guide your employees through their tasks. It accesses structured and unstructured data sources to extract relevant information for the process. The solution integrates descriptions, CAD drawings and contextual information and guides employees seamlessly through every step of the assembly process.

 
 

AI use cases: Successful in use

Automatically combine knowledge with GenAI and provide it as a tailored solution

For example, GenAI can make assembly easier for the worker in the case of different individual assemblies. Overall, the solution aims to improve assembly through the use of AI-supported assistance by supporting the worker with precise instructions and recommendations to make the process more efficient and error-free.
