Germany BMBF Leading-Edge Cluster Project EASY - Embedded Artificial Intelligence for Production Systems

FY 2020-21 · 2020-09-01

Summary
Germany BMBF Leading-Edge Cluster project EASY led by Fraunhofer-Institut für Entwurfstechnik Mechatronik IEM The present project aims to develop decentralized machine learning (ML) algorithms for embedded and edge devices. The use cases considered in this project are the intelligent setting of profile wrapping machines and the predictive maintenance of failure-critical components in conveying applications, such as, the slip of friction wheels and drive belts due to wear or damage to bearings and gearboxes. A key goal of this project is therefore the development and implementation of learning processes in distributed, embedded systems, taking into account resource constraints.

Description (French)
Projet EASY avec une grappe de pointe BMBF en Allemagne, dirigé par Fraunhofer-Institut für Entwurfstechnik Mechatronik IEM. Le présent projet vise à créer des algorithmes d'apprentissage machine décentralisé pour les dispositifs intégrés et de pointe. Les cas d'utilisation envisagés dans ce projet sont le réglage intelligent des machines d'enrobage de profilés et la maintenance prévisionnelle des composantes critiques dans les applications de convoyage, telles que le glissement des roues de friction et des courroies d'entraînement dû à l'usure ou à l'endommagement des roulements et des boîtes de vitesses. Un objectif clé de ce projet est donc la mise au point et la mise en œuvre de processus d'apprentissage dans des systèmes distribués et intégrés, en tenant compte des contraintes en matière de ressources.
