Kog-A-Pro

Automation 4.0 for the manufacturing industry: flexible, intelligent and cognitive

The manufacturing industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation: the focus is moving away from producing large quantities of just a few variants, with companies now manufacturing more individual items and small batches across a broad product portfolio. 

This trend brings with it a need for a radical rethink on how to create fully automated and flexible manufacturing systems. 

The Kog-A-Pro research project is doing just that by developing a modular software toolkit for cognitive automation functions to help companies implement flexible and intelligent production systems.

With this innovative tool, even highly complex manufacturing processes can be fully automated for the first time. Development work will concentrate primarily on solving practical industrial challenges, such as the automated setup of (laser) processing systems, the precise alignment, parameterization and monitoring of filling systems, and flexible, customized quality control using robotics.

Fine-tuning and setting the monitoring functions for filling systems is a complex task, as each system is set up differently and has to be adjusted. The modular software toolkit aims to offer automated functions for flexible, AI-based monitoring to prevent disruptions to operation.

Project duration:

  • 1/1/2025 - 12/31/2027

Project partners:

  • Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology (IWU), Reichenhainer Straße 88, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany
