AI Champions Baden-Württemberg

News // Resolto


Festo's AI solution "Intelligent pneumatic runtime monitoring" was honoured at the "AI Champions Baden-Württemberg" awards ceremony of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economics, Labour and Housing on 11th August.

In Thousands of pneumatic clamping systems are used in production lines in the automotive industry, for tasks like holding individual parts in place during welding in the body shop. In the future, software from Festo with artificial intelligence from Resolto will identify whether the clamps are still working correctly or would be better replaced with an eye to predictive maintenance. It does this exclusively using the signals from the valves and the end positions of the actuators, which are available anyway. In this way expensive breakdowns can be avoided.

Jury convinced

This AI solution from Festo convinced the competition jury and also Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, Minister of Economic Affairs, Employment and Housing in Baden-Württemberg, who for the first time awarded the title of "AI Champions Baden-Württemberg" to business-related research institutes, small and medium-sized as well as large companies from Baden-Württemberg for their outstanding solutions in the field of AI. Dr. Thilo Streichert, Head of Development Embedded Software, and Dr. Dominic Kraus, Product Management and Business Development, accepted the award on behalf of the company via live transmission.


AI as key technology of the future

Festo Management Board member for Product and Technology Management Dr. Frank Melzer was via livestream switched on from vacation: "Festo aims to be the innovation leader and therefore the preferred automation partner for its customers worldwide. As artificial intelligence is the key technology of the future, our focus is on the further development of decentralised, autonomous systems and artificial intelligence. As early as 2018, we acquired the AI specialist Resolto and have been steadily advancing the fields of analytics and artificial intelligence. AI will have an enormous impact on our product portfolio, for example by enabling AI algorithms to be integrated into the cloud as well as directly into Festo components. I am therefore very pleased and particularly proud of this award and that we were able to convince the jury with our AI solution".
