Lab/ Plant

In the process industry a lot of data is generated during planning, in the laboratory, and during the operation of a plant. In KEEN this data will be systematically processed with AI methods. In connection with the data world, an autonomous plant can operate more efficiently and securely.

Virtual World

Via modelling and simulation, a lot of process data can be reliably obtained. In KEEN, this data will be systematically processed with AI methods. The connection with real process data enables an efficient and autonomous plant operation, like a digital intelligent companion.

 

Innovation platform KEEN

KEEN connects 20 partners consisting of industrial companies and scientific institutions with the objective to introduce artificial intelligen­ce (AI) technologies and methods in the process industry and to evalua­te and implement their technical, economical, and social potential. The KEEN consortium investigates the implementation of AI methods in the process industry regarding the following three topics:

  1. modelling of processes, product features, and plants
  2. engineering of plants and processes
  3. operation optimisation and the implementation of self-optimising plants.

The KEEN project has the objective to improve substantially the efficiency of all engineering and production activities along the product life cycle via the implementation of AI methods. For the testing of the method real data from industrial processes will be provided. The newly developed AI methods will be tested in real working environments and production plants in order to prove the economic benefit, applicability, and reliability of the methods and technologies.

KEEN is a research project that will generate another post pilot gap which will be closed by a network of AI Incubator Labs for a sustainable transfer. The addressed gap reaches from TRL4 (technology readiness level) in the lab phase to TRL8 in the pilot application phase.

About the “Innovation Competition Artificial Intelligence”

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) supports with the “Innovation Competition Artificial Intelligence” the development of AI-based platform concepts. In 16 selected technology projects sectors and topics like healthcare, smart living, commerce, production, agriculture, mobility, construction, and quantum computing are addressed.
