Course Overview
Three AI case studies will help you to analyse problems independently and apply proposed solutions. These are an integrated element of the masters programme in the first and second semester. Read on to find out more details about each case study:
This case study in the first semester focuses on a topic from the areas of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Production & Logistics, Advanced Statistical Methods & Optimisation, Data Management and Production Data Management (Acquisition and Control). Get to know and test existing techniques and learn to understand where limits are, including the range of possibilities using ML/DL in comparison to conventional optimisation methods.
summer semester 2024
winter semester 2024/2025
This case study in the second semester covers a broad range related to production and production-related topics. For example, in the module "Intelligent Systems" of MSS, you could study text classification, chatbots, road damage detection, recognition of vehicles (traffic monitoring) and even the lifetime prediction of sensors.
This case study in the second semester focuses on concrete topics in "Digital Production Systems". This means design, improvement, and implementation of cyber-physical production systems (e.g. networking of systems with each other and with the internet), in addition to the simulation of production systems with specialised software packages, e.g. AnyLogic or Open Modellica.
Gain advanced expertise across production, logistics, and technology management, equipping you to lead and deliver complex engineering projects.
- Machine Learning Methods: Advanced algorithms for intelligent automation and data-driven systems.
- Big Data & Cloud Analytics: Scalable data processing architectures, cloud computing, and industrial IoT data pipelines.
