The “PredictiveBoX” opens up new horizons for AI-based vibration analysis and applications in production optimization, prediction-based quality control and Industry 4.0 integration. Thanks to our sensor box, you can precisely predict tool wear and remaining tool life and visualize it in real time. This allows you to optimize your production processes with maximum tool utilization, minimized downtime and real-time quality control. Our technology enables easy retrofitting, no speed limitation and high sampling rates – without battery operation.

Fraunhofer IMS develops smart sensor systems for the design of sustainable and circular industrial production processes. The systems provide pre-processed information and are easy to retrofit and low-maintenance. Particular attention is paid to the sensor-related implementation of machine learning (ML) methods. The models used are based on explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in order to make the functionality and the results achieved as comprehensible as possible for the user. This results in solutions in the application areas of Industry 4.0, predictive maintenance, green information and communication technology and circular production.
