REAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE INDUSTRY 5.0 TRANSITION OF THE MEUSE-RHINE MANUFACTURING SME (REAL)

REAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE INDUSTRY 5.0 TRANSITION OF THE MEUSE-RHINE MANUFACTURING SME (REAL)

Manu­fac­tu­ring SMEs (mSMEs) are at a tur­ning point. While many mSMEs are still strugg­ling with Indus­try 4.0, focu­sed on auto­ma­ti­on and dat­adri­ven tech­no­lo­gy, Indus­try 5.0 is alre­a­dy emer­ging. This new para­digm inte­gra­tes Indus­try 4.0, human cen­tri­ci­ty, sus­taina­bi­li­ty, and resi­li­ence. For SMEs, this tran­si­ti­on is espe­ci­al­ly chal­len­ging: limi­t­ed resour­ces and exper­ti­se make it dif­fi­cult to inte­gra­te advan­ced data solu­ti­ons and sus­taina­bi­li­ty. The human cen­te­red approach of Indus­try 5.0 does howe­ver bring oppor­tu­ni­ties for bet­ter adapt­a­ti­on by SMEs.

Com­mu­ni­ty of Prac­ti­ce AI (CoP-KI)

As part of the “CoP-KI” pro­ject, a cross-regio­nal com­mu­ni­ty of prac­ti­ce (cal­led CoP-AI) is being estab­lished to pro­mo­te the exch­an­ge and deve­lo­p­ment of inno­va­ti­ve lear­ning for­mats in both urban and rural are­as. The goal is to crea­te a vibrant com­mu­ni­ty dedi­ca­ted to the pro­fes­sio­nal appli­ca­ti­on of arti­fi­ci­al intel­li­gence (AI). By brin­ging tog­e­ther peo­p­le from dif­fe­rent indus­tries, expe­ri­ence levels, and regi­ons of Aus­tria and Ger­ma­ny, infor­mal, par­ti­ci­pa­to­ry lear­ning expe­ri­en­ces are made pos­si­ble and inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry and supra­re­gio­nal know­ledge exch­an­ge is streng­the­ned in the long term.
