At the FMB - Trade Fair fo r Mechanical Engineering - the it's OWL joint stand offers the ideal oppor tunity to discover precisely such solutions. From November 5 to 7\, leadin g research institutes from OstWestfalenLippe will be presenting technologi es and applications that drive industrial transformation with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and the it's OWL strategy 'Industrie.Zero'. T ake the opportunity to gain practical insights and concrete support offers for your company and visit our stand in Hall 21\, Stand C20.\n\n\n"At the it's OWL joint stand\, we will be presenting innovative solutions that dr ive forward the industrial transformation of SMEs. For over ten years\, th e FMB has been a central platform for us to present technologies and appli cations from our projects\," says Günter Korder\, Managing Director of it 's OWL Clustermanagement GmbH. Under the title 'Industrie.Zero'\, OstWestf alenLippe is to become a model region for sustainable value creation. To t his end\, the it's OWL technology network is developing new solutions and technologies with the support of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and t he region's companies and research institutions.\n\nFor the reduction of C O2 emissions and circular value creation. For intelligent energy supply an d sustainable product development. And for new forms of skilled worker dev elopment.\n\nTrade fair participants can find out more about 'Industrie.Ze ro' and how companies can benefit from the technology network and its part ners at the it's OWL joint stand.\n\n\nWhat is the FMB?\n\nOne of the stro ngest mechanical engineering clusters in Germany is at home in OWL. Since 2005\, the FMB has been the trade fair in OWL where players from mechanica l engineering\, automation technology and production technology network an d make new contacts. The FMB represents the entire spectrum of the supplie r industry for mechanical and plant engineering\, including the associated industrial services and special machine construction.\n\n\nAI in companie s: LEGO model shows potentials\nApplications of AI solutions in various in dustries will be vividly presented at the joint stand by the it's OWL comp etence center Arbeitswelt.Plus and the it's OWL project Datenfabrik.NRW us ing a LEGO model. Visitors can use the Arbeitswelt.Plus model to experienc e how AI is revolutionizing laundry technology\, for example\, how it opti mizes sequence planning in production or how AI supports companies in thei r sales planning. The LEGO model of Datenfabrik.NRW illustrates how AI is revolutionizing production and factory planning at the agricultural machin ery manufacturer Claas and at Schmitz Cargobull\, the leading manufacturer of semi-trailers\, bodies and trailers in Europe.\nFraunhofer IEM present s Cobot for real money verification\nFraunhofer IEM presents a collaborati ve robot from the it's OWL project 'CogeP'. The so-called Cobot was develo ped by Fraunhofer IEM together with Diebold Nixdorf and Verlinked. Cobots are characterized by simple and intuitive learning and programming functio ns. The cobot is intended to support Diebold Nixdorf in the real money tes ting of ATMs and the assembly testing of control panels on ATMs.\nSimple a pplication of data-driven services for SMEs\nThe Think Tank OWL showcases an Industry 4.0 ecosystem for the automated use of data-driven services th at has emerged from the it's OWL project 'I4.0AutoServ'\, in which compani es can implement product-service systems faster and more cost-effectively. With the help of the Think Tank OWL\, small and medium-sized enterprises can gain low-threshold access to the research landscape of the Bielefeld c ampus. At the stand of the Leading-Edge Cluster\, the institution will pre sent interested companies with tailor-made offers for cooperation with Bie lefeld University or Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences.\nCO2-neutra l coffee machine provides an example of flexible\, sustainable and digital ized production\nHow can the individual production of goods in batch size 1 be implemented\, using the example of a cup of coffee? This question is the focus of the presence of the Fraunhofer Institute from Lemgo together with the TH OWL at the it's OWL joint stand. With the presentation of a mi niaturized production line as a coffee machine demonstrator\, Fraunhofer w ill provide insights into the future of flexible\, sustainable and fully d igitalized production. The CO2-neutral coffee machine is powered by solar energy\, uses biodegradable capsules and utilizes 3D-printed components. V isitors can order the coffee using a QR code and the entire production pro cess is recorded digitally\, including energy consumption and carbon footp rint. These technologies are transferable to larger production processes a nd the solutions presented offer more transparency\, flexibility and susta inability.\n\n \;\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://its-owl.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/fm b-2023-65.jpg CATEGORIES:Event on site LOCATION:Messezentrum Bad Salzuflen\, Benzstraße 23\, Bad Salzuflen\, 3210 8\, Germany X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Benzstraße 23\, Bad Salzuf len\, 32108\, Germany;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Messezentrum Bad Salzufle n:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:79@its-owl.de DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20241121T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20241121T170000 DTSTAMP:20241021T113500Z URL:https://its-owl.de/en/news-events/events/life-cycle-assessment-environ mentally-friendly-product-development-through-openlca/ SUMMARY:Life Cycle Assessment - Environmentally friendly product developmen t through OpenLCA DESCRIPTION:\n\nCan you prove how environmentally friendly your products ar e? At a time when sustainability is increasingly becoming the key to compe titiveness\, companies are required to be transparent about their environm ental impact. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)\, which takes into account all p hases of a product - from raw material extraction to disposal - plays a cr ucial role in this. Our online event offers you a comprehensive introducti on to the methodology of life cycle assessment and the use of the open sou rce software OpenLCA.\n\n\nFind out how you can use this powerful software to perform your LCA calculations and the benefits of automated data proce ssing and accurate reporting.\nWhat can you expect?\n\n \n\n Basics of l ife cycle analysis (LCA): An introduction to the methodology and its impor tance for sustainable product development.\n OpenLCA in practical use: Pr actical demonstrations of the software using demo examples.\n Data manage ment: Efficient collection and processing of data and its integration into existing systems.\n LCA tools at a glance: A comparison of existing tool s\, their strengths and weaknesses.\n Quality management and standards: T he role of LCA in quality management of the future\, including relevant st andards such as ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.\n Interfaces to Environmental Pr oduct Declarations (EPDs): Importance and implementation for your company. \n\n\n\nThis event is offered free of charge by it's OWL in cooperation wi th Fraunhofer IEM\, InnoZent OWL e.V.\, IHK Lippe zu Detmold and IHK Ostwe stfalen zu Bielefeld as part of the DualStrat and SLE - Sustainable Lifecy cle Engineering projects.

Unlike traditional robotic process automa tion (RPA)\, which follows predefined rules\, agentic AI systems can learn \, adapt and make independent decisions. By using techniques such as reinf orcement learning\, natural language processing\, computer vision and mult imodal learning\, they are able to pursue complex goals with minimal human intervention. \n\n\nThis event - powered by it's OWL and prostep ivip - explores the potential of agent-based AI for technology and industry.
