AI project by Klingele and the University of Stuttgart is scientifically recognised

Klingele has developed an innovative concept for a service consulting platform in a joint teaching project with the Chair of Information Systems II of Prof Dr Georg Herzwurm and subsequently with the Graduate School of Excellence advanced Manufacturing Engineering (GSaME) at the University of Stuttgart. It describes a digital assistant supported by artificial intelligence, which Klingele can use to offer various knowledge-based services. For example, it is intended to support players in the packaging industry by pooling specific balancing knowledge in the creation of CO2 balances. The development of the concept was described by the junior research group leader for intelligent circular value creation systems Dr Dimitri Petrik from the GSaME and Florian Härer, Innovation Manager at Klingele, in a research paper entitled "Conceptualising AI-driven Knowledge Services for Circular Economy". This research paper has now been accepted by the IEEE International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation, a major computer science conference.

In its evaluation, an independent committee of the conference sees great potential in the concept of offering consulting services in particular in parallel via a platform and using AI as a knowledge service. Dr Petrik will therefore present the concept at the conference on behalf of the entire cooperation team. "The evaluation is an important recognition of our joint high-quality research work. This is the appeal of such a project: we are accompanying an industrial company that has been successful with physical products for over 100 years into the AI age. I am delighted that Klingele is opening up to these topics and actively shaping them," says Dr Dimitri Petrik.
