On Thursday, May 19, the AI in Logistics Working Group held an in-person event at TZ PULS in Dingolfing. The event provided interested companies and members with a fascinating glimpse into the practical research activities of the Technology Center for Production and Logistics Systems.
The meeting began with an extremely informative presentation session on various forms of AI being researched and applied at TZ PULS. Prof. Dr. Meißner provided insights into the use of digital twins in intralogistics, while Dr. Schnabel addressed the topic of why the choice of algorithm can be overrated. Following additional presentations on specific examples of AI applications in logistics by staff members of the TZ PULS Research Center, the break provided an opportunity for stimulating conversations and networking over a cup of coffee.
Afterward, Prof. Dr. Meißner and Dr. Schnabel led a tour of the 900-square-meter learning and demonstration factory, which forms the heart of TZ PULS. During the tour, participants were able to view innovative technologies and intelligent production and logistics systems in a fully integrated factory. Particularly exciting was the ongoing conversion to a completely redesigned production line, which, instead of the traditional U-shape, adopts an O-shape patented by TZ PULS.
The Mobility & Logistics Cluster would like to thank the entire TZ PULS team for their hospitality and all participants for the engaging discussion.
