Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in production processes - including at HOMAG Kantentechnik GmbH in Lemgo. Showing a clear edge - at least when it comes to kitchen, living room and office furniture - is often done with HOMAG machines. In order to be able to produce numerous variants of state-of-the-art sizing and edgebanding machines in East Westphalia-Lippe, the HOMAG team is continuously developing itself and its work processes. Although the machines from Lemgo do not drill, the employees drill all the thicker boards and began early on to explore how they could make use of AI. The result is an intelligent assistance system. Work instructions for assembly can now be created on the basis of 3D CAD models.

During our exchange of experiences, participants will be able to get a first-hand impression of AI applications in production, both through presentations and during a tour of the production facility. These impressions will be rounded off with the latest findings from research. Machine learning expert Dr. Gesa Benndorf, Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, will report on "Active learning and generative AI for automation and machine maintenance" using practical examples. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sven Hinrichsen, Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences, will explain the potential of using robotic process automation and generative artificial intelligence for work preparation.
