    Around 90% of factory data goes unused. This “dark data” holds answers to costly questions: Why is scrap generated? Where is energy wasted? What separates mediocre quality from excellence? Dr. Julian Senoner and Dr. Bernhard Kratzwald decided to change that. They created EthonAI’s Manufacturing Analytics System (MAS), an #AI-powered platform that integrates existing data sources to improve quality and process #efficiency. With no-code tools for easy use, MAS delivers 5–10x ROI, up to 80% less scrap, and faster time-to-value for manufacturers worldwide. For this transformative innovation, Julian and Bernhard were awarded the Open Innovation category of #InventorsOfTheYear 2025, recognizing their impact on industrial AI and #sustainability. 🏆

    Some things don’t seem to belong together — until they’re combined to create something brilliant. Together with Fraunhofer IFAM we achieved one of these surprising combinations: hybrid drives for robots. By blending precise direct drives with robust indirect drives, they’ve created a system that equips robots with both power and precision, transforming them into true multitasking tools. These robots can perform #3Dprinting and milling in one system, boosting productivity and improving accuracy. They save time, space, and energy while enabling more flexible and sustainable production. Behind this breakthrough are Sven Tauchmann, David Bitterolf, Stephan Hansen, and Tobias Hamann. They were awarded #InventorsOfTheYear Award 2025 in the category Open Innovation for shaping the future of industrial #robotics. 🏆

  • ⚠️ Cyberattacks on energy grids are on the rise, bringing severe consequences like power outages, production shutdowns, and endangered infrastructure. At Siemens, we believe in proactive solutions. As part of the FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH funded CREIS research project, we're collaborating with our #SiemensRIE partner, Technische Universität Graz, to develop innovative protective measures for critical energy infrastructure together with ISEC TU Graz. Our mission spans from vulnerability analysis to crafting robust, long-term security solutions for both IT and OT environments. Our approach? Decades of industrial research and expertise in energy automation meet scientific excellence in cybersecurity. 💪 This powerful synergy allows us to not only meet EU requirements like #NIS2 and the #CyberResilienceAct (CRA). We're also setting new benchmarks for sustainable cybersecurity, not just in the energy sector, but across all industrial automation. Through partnership and innovative research, we are building a more resilient and secure industrial landscape.

  • The Siemens UK RIE team were delighted to see this great programme launched just before Christmas. Intended to be a world-leading programme in human-centred, trustworthy AI for manufacturing, driving green growth, productivity, resilience, and social sustainability, we have been involved from the early applications process, working with RIE partners such as The University of Sheffield, University of Oxford, University of Birmingham, AMRC, MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre and the University of Nottingham, in order to get it off the ground. As an added bonus I'm delighted to say that we have been asked to chair the Industrial Steering Board for the first couple of years. Stay tuned for further updates! https://lnkd.in/e5TJMHtD

    Co-AIMS Hub Kick-Off: Building Momentum for the Future of UK Manufacturing We were delighted to host the successful kick-off meeting of the EPSRC Co-AIMS Hub (Collaborative AI for Manufacturing Sustainability) on Friday 12 December at the University of Birmingham. The event brought together over 60 attendees, with strong representation from industry, industrial associations, and regional government, underscoring the clear demand for a coordinated national effort in this space. The discussions reflected the ambition and national importance of Co-AIMS: positioning the UK as a global leader in human-centred, trustworthy AI for manufacturing, driving green growth, productivity, resilience, and social sustainability across priority sectors. We were particularly pleased to hear perspectives from key external stakeholders: - EPSRC, with contributions from Anke Davis, highlighting the strong alignment of Co-AIMS with national strategy on sustainable manufacturing, AI and robotics. - Innovate UK, where Gary Cutts set out the industrial opportunity and the critical role of AI in accelerating adoption and impact across UK industry. - Siemens UK, with David Moss emphasising the importance of deep industry–academia collaboration to translate research into real-world competitiveness and value. With an inspiring programme spanning the hub vision, research themes, industrial flagships, and pathways for engagement, the kick-off marked the start of an exciting journey. Co-AIMS offers a unique national platform to work together to advance AI-enabled manufacturing that is productive, sustainable, and people-centred. We look forward to building this community and turning ambition into impact.
