Basic information on FIP-AI@VSB-TUO
In June 2021, VSB – Technical University of Ostrava (VSB-TUO) and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, through its institutes Fraunhofer IWU and Fraunhofer ICT, formed the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform for Applied Artificial Intelligence for Materials and Manufacturing at VSB – Technical University of Ostrava (FIP-AI@VSB-TUO), the only FIP in the Czech Republic.
The objective of the cooperation is to research and develop:
• Digital solutions for production
• Optimised production technologies
• Innovative thermal energy storage systems for industrial applications
• Modular concepts for energy storage
• Heat recovery systems
• Integration in process chains
• Further developed and highly specialised AI applications
For this ambitious initiative, the partners each contribute their own expertise: VSB-TUO in the areas of artificial intelligence and next generation computing; Fraunhofer ICT in materials research and energy systems; and Fraunhofer IWU in manufacturing technology and production. The bundling of these competencies enables the partners to offer particularly powerful solutions for the entire industrial value chain.
