Digitization of Raster Drawings with Deep Learning

Digitization of Raster Drawings with Deep Learning

Framework outperforms OCR software in extracting data from mechanical drawings
Xiao Zhao, Marko Weber, Jan Schöffmann, Daniela Oelke ORCID Icon
A new look into the depths of technical drawings: A deep learning framework reads CAD drawings more accurately than ever before, recognizing geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing, dimensions, and every other detail. What used to be tedious manual labor is now carried out by an AI that understands the special features of every line and label. This promising technology not only increases accuracy but also speeds up the processing of drawings considerably. The system thus opens up new avenues for precision in production.

Setting Up Assembly Assistance Systems

Setting Up Assembly Assistance Systems

System for the efficient configuration of assembly instructions and assistance functions
Dennis Keiser, Dario Niermann ORCID Icon, Michael Freitag ORCID Icon
In industrial assembly, humans are working more closely with machines due to assembly assistance. However, despite their great potential, the implementation of digital systems is time-consuming, which entails high training requirements. Small and medium-sized businesses, in particular, are reaching their limits. A newly developed setup system is designed to facilitate the introduction and use of such assembly assistance systems and increase their acceptance.

Aiming to Create Green AI

Aiming to Create Green AI

Putting a focus on AI energy efficiency and minimizing the CO2 footprint of AI-based systems
Marcus Grum ORCID Icon, Maximilian Ambros ORCID Icon, Marcel Rojahn ORCID Icon
Reducing CO2 emissions is one of the most urgent tasks of our time. Simultaneously, artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. However, AI often brings about its own significant CO2 impact. Experimental testing of Green AI strategies is therefore crucial for their long-term success. A management tool can support this process so that both users and managers can make optimal use of AI as a tool.

Large Language Models (LLM) in Production

An analysis of the potential for transforming production processes in modern factories
Pius Finkel ORCID Icon, Peter Wurster ORCID Icon, Robin Radler
The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence is opening up new avenues for the manufacturing industry amid a shortage of skilled workers. Large language models can potentially make production processes in medium- sized businesses more efficient. But how exactly is this potential measured? Key areas of application such as communication, training and knowledge management show why a lot depends on employee acceptance.

Cognitive Assistance Systems in Intralogistics

User studies with augmented reality and an AI chatbot
Hendrik Stern ORCID Icon, Michael Freitag ORCID Icon
Assistance systems improve work processes, shorten learning times and increase flexibility in the workplace. Human-centered, resilient and sustainable production approaches where user acceptance is of the utmost importance play a crucial role in the digitized Industry 5.0. Two user studies investigate how useful the support of technologies like augmented reality and AI chat actually is. In the context of cognitive assistance systems in intralogistics, artificial intelligence and augmented reality have a great potential and can contribute to an improvement in process performance. The usability of these systems in terms of human-centricity of Industry 5.0 is crucial. This article describes the results and findings of two user studies conducted in the laboratory for intralogistics work processes (picking and packing). The assistance systems used were evaluated using the System Usability Scale.   Cognitive assistance systems in intralogistics Assistance systems make a ...
