en.Wedoany.com Reported - TRUMPF has entered into a partnership with the IPAI Artificial Intelligence network in Heilbronn, further expanding its network of companies, research institutions, and AI experts in Europe. The goal is to exchange experiences, explore new application areas for AI, and drive innovation in industrial practice. TRUMPF brings industrial experience, while IPAI provides an AI development ecosystem. Sarah Engel, Head of Artificial Intelligence at TRUMPF, stated that the AI transformation is a task companies should tackle together, and sharing every experience is crucial. IPAI offers an ecosystem for AI expert exchange, cross-company collaborative projects, and talent attraction, and TRUMPF aims to become part of the European AI community through this partnership.
Active exchange with AI authorities. Moritz Gräter, CEO of IPAI, emphasized that TRUMPF is an absolute pioneer in industrial manufacturing, and its expertise in sheet metal processing and laser technology demonstrates how AI can be applied practically and responsibly in industry. Together, they aim to more quickly translate technological excellence into concrete applications, safeguarding European industrial competitiveness. The partnership gives TRUMPF access to an international committee of AI experts from various disciplines, where experts can communicate on an equal footing and learn from each other, for example, in using generative AI for modern software development. IPAI also provides real-world laboratory spaces for testing and further developing AI-based innovations, which TRUMPF intends to use for training robots to perform complex handling tasks in sheet metal production.
TRUMPF's AI expertise in practice. TRUMPF has already launched numerous AI applications for manufacturing, such as the Sortmaster Vision system, where an AI-based robot autonomously sorts parts and assigns them to the correct orders. Another example is the Visionline Inspect technology, which can be used to check weld seam quality, for instance, in electric vehicle applications.
