The use of machine learning in production is becoming increasingly popular. SMEs in particular are looking more closely at the potential of machine learning and the resulting added value.

However, many SMEs, especially in the manufacturing sector, lack an implementation strategy that guides them through this complex process, starting with application identification and checking the basic requirements through to commissioning and the Center of Excellence.

The aim is therefore to enable SMEs to introduce and use machine learning applications and to support them with the help of the implementation strategy.

Your tasks

  • Systematic investigation of existing implementation strategies by means of literature research
  • Development of a generic implementation strategy (e.g. through roadmapping)
  • Implementation of case studies using Python
  • Identification of SME-specific challenges in the introduction of machine learning
