The seminar will address future topics and the results of current research projects. The following aspects of publicly funded projects will be discussed in depth:
- the investigation of the robustness of AI applications for process optimisation in cement production,
- the automated classification and evaluation of alternative fuels like RDF and
- the analysis of potentials and risks when using AI, using the example of predicting the 28-day strength of cement.
However, implementing the digital transformation requires more than just technology: companies need to build digital expertise, develop agile teams and formulate a clear digital strategy. It is crucial that AI applications are not only precise, but also flexible and adaptable.
The future of cement production is networked, intelligent and sustainable. Industry 4.0 and IoT technologies are opening up numerous new possibilities - from predictive maintenance to end-to-end process optimisation.
