As one of the associated partners objective partner is involved in the design and implementation of the Fraunhofer FabOS project. The aim of the project is to provide an open, distributed, real-time capable and secure operating system for production. In the future, this operating system will provide the IT backbone for versatile automation of production and the central basis for data-driven services and AI applications.
Large-scale industry, medium-sized companies, start-ups and research partners have joined forces to support and develop adaptable production in Germany, from the sensor to the machine to the complete factory without system boundaries. They form a broad ecosystem for the development of uniform lifecycle management. In addition, they bring with them the unique expertise to create an end-to-end infrastructure for real-time capable cross-domain value creation networks for the AI-supported autonomous production of the future.
objective partner is also contributing its expertise to the project network as an associated partner. As a digitalization expert, objective partner is very familiar with the challenges that medium-sized companies in particular are currently facing in the smart factory sector and can incorporate this experience into the FabOS project. "In the future, innovative strength will determine success or failure more than ever. The sme sector must abandon the idea that innovations can only be created in this country. That is why it is crucial to promote digitalization and smart factory approaches in SMEs in Germany," says Andreas Bader, founder and CEO of objective partner. "As an associated partner, we want to and can help realize the various implementation-specific requirements in the project and use the agility and short decision-making paths of SMEs to establish them as pioneers in the long term."
No waiting, but acting together
As a result, the added value that can be gained for German companies from adaptable production must not go unnoticed in the future. The Fraunhofer FabOS project builds on this initial situation. The central outcome of the FabOS platform is to create a flexible and expandable architecture for future requirements of cognitive services, real-time applications and data marketplaces. In short, the FabOS project enables companies to create an end-to-end solution for real-time applications from the cloud, via the edge, to the shopfloor in the machine. A solution that goes far beyond the standard and previous possibilities of companies.
The concept was developed as part of the innovation competition "Artificial intelligence as a driver for economically relevant ecosystems" and is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi).
