Breaking the Silo: Efficiently Integrating Industrial Data Streams with Digital Twins

Date: 16 March 2027, 09:00 – 17:00 (CET)Price: Free (for eligible participants)Format: AI:AT Training, ONLINE (Zoom)Target audience: Industry, public admin, academiaLanguage: EnglishOrganizer: AI:AT​Struggle with data for your industrial AI applications scattered throughout different data silos? Learn how to efficiently integrate data with technologies such as Asset Administration Shell (AAS) and OPC UA and build scalable AI solutions, such as predictive maintenance or machine chatbots.The basis for most modern AI applications is a proper amount of high-quality data. However, especially in the manufacturing context, this data is traditionally scattered across a vast amount of distributed, unconnected, heterogeneous data silos. In this training, you will discover how to efficiently integrate this data into your AI models using digital twins. More precisely, you will work with technologies such as Asset Administration Shell and OPC UA to build a common data layer as virtual representation of your physical assets.In the practical exercises, you will work with:Use Case 1: A machine chatbot that allows users to interact with machine documentation. You will scale the application of this chatbot by enabling it to automatically discover the correct documentation associated with each machine.Use Case 2: A predictive maintenance service that predicts failures of different devices based on live data. You will scale this predictive maintenance application by connecting it to live data from many different, heterogeneous machines.Learning Outcomes:After attending this full-day hands-on workshop, you will be able tounderstand challenges associated with scaling AI solutions to whole manufacturing sitesefficiently integrate data from different data silos into your AI applicationsstart implementing the machine chatbot and predictive maintenance examples in yousr own organizationAgenda09:00Motivation and Introduction Digital Twins, Introduction of used technologies: Asset Administration Shell (AAS Designer), OPC UA (Python SDK provided by Traeger) and working environment for the hands-on part10:30Break11:00Introduction of use case 1: Machine Chatbot12:00Break13:00Hands-On Labs for use case 114:00Introduction of use case 2: Predictive Maintenance15:00Break15:30Hands-On Labs for use case 216:30Wrap-Up17:00EndTarget audience Developers, innovation engineers and data scientists who want to scale AI applications in a manufacturing setting.This webinar is open and free of charge for all participants from academia, industry, and public administration from EU and/or EuroHPC JU member countries.Entry level & prerequisites Participants are expected to be familiar with the Python programming language. The rest will be covered as part of the course. So you do NOT need any prior experience with AI development, Asset Administration Shell, OPC UA, or other digital twin technologies.SpeakerDaniel Lehner (AI Factory Austria AI:AT)              Dr. Daniel Lehner works as expert in AI knowledge transfer at AI Factory Austria AI:AT.
