Data science and AI as an SME
Dominic Brunner (Managing Director of ControlTech Engineering AG) and Stefan Kramberg (data expert) were guests at the Haus der Wirtschaft in Pratteln.
Around 35 guests came to the Haus der Wirtschaft in Pratteln to talk about digitalization and listen to six keynote speeches. Short panel discussions focused on the biggest challenges. "We were approached by Basel Area, which supported us with the Data Science Framework project," explained Dominic Brunner, Managing Director of ControlTech Engineering AG in Liestal. In an increasingly networked, dynamic world, it makes sense to have as much data as possible available in the company at the touch of a button. SMEs in particular should find out about the possibilities and create IT infrastructures in order to utilize and protect their own internal company data accordingly.
Digitization as an opportunity for SMEs
“Personally, I found it interesting to hear what other companies are doing in the area of digitalization,” Dominic Brunner reflected after the event. CTE gave a presentation on the process surrounding the Data Science Framework. Stefan Kramberg, a data expert at CTE, reflected on the standardized process, which included goal definition, data screening, and assessment: “The DSFWhat is the Data Science Framework (DSF)?CTE approach to AI-driven optimization of industrial processes based on real-world operational data. is a navigation system designed to help you reach your destination. It brings together the necessary experts.»
It is important to both digitalization specialists that small SMEs also understand how important their data is. CTE used the DSF project to show where difficulties can arise and what the important aspects are. "Above all, we presented our DSF pilot project and our findings after ten months," explains Dominic Brunner, demonstrating that it takes courage, perseverance and openness to manage such a pilot project. It is only with the new partnership with Learning Machines GmbH that the pilot project gains fresh momentum. But then, in just three months, the AI dashboard is created as a demonstrator for time series, measured values and automatic evaluations. "We are absolutely delighted with how we can now demonstrate the perfect batch using a 3D quality hose," concludes Dominic Brunner.
