AI in manufacturing and mobility
Stuttgart connects AI research with automotive and mechanical engineering. Cyber Valley brings together research and startup support across the Tübingen–Stuttgart region; ARENA2036 adds a research and industry context for future manufacturing and mobility. For teams, the practical question is how a model moves from the lab into a production or service environment.
Questions to take into the conversation
- Which quality or maintenance decision could a model improve, and which metric would show it?
- How can sensor and production data be made available and comparable for a sound test?
- What latency, security and human approval requirements apply on the factory floor?

What your team can explore
- Which recurring task could be a good first AI test, and how would you measure improvement?
- What data, approvals and human review does the workflow need before it can be used day to day?
- Which process should move on from the workshop as an experiment, prototype or next implementation step?
- Which AI application can you test sensibly with your existing data, systems and skills?
