Because AI models are still prone to errors, special security standards must be observed for their use in production plants. Instead of “deserted factories”, new human-machine cooperations are therefore more likely to develop. Artificial intelligence is generally said to have a great future in business life. But after the initial euphoria, the remaining weaknesses of …

Autonomous, self-driving robot equipped with multi-camera-system, 3D-microphone-array and LIDAR-laserscanning revolutionizes transformer monitoring Transformers are central components of the energy infrastructure, hence their availability is an integral factor of security of supply. Continuous monitoring and predictive maintenance are therefore an important factor in increasing the longevity of these infrastructure elements. Although transformers are extremely durable and …
