Artificial intelligence for value creation and knowledge transfer
At K 2025, the IKV will present how artificial intelligence can be used in the plastics industry – from process optimisation to a completely new approach to knowledge transfer.
KI4KI: Potential along the value chain
How can artificial intelligence (AI) be used in the plastics industry? This question is at the heart of the KI4KI research project, which is being carried out at the Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) in Industry and the Skilled Crafts at RWTH Aachen University. The aim is to identify the potential of AI along the entire value chain and implement it in a practical way – from product development to production and quality assurance.
Brainbridge.Knowledge powered by IKV: An MVP you can touch
We will be presenting the first tangible result at K 2025: the MVP Brainbridge.Knowledge powered by IKV. Together with our partner Brainbridge, we show how knowledge can be structured and made accessible to all stakeholders with the help of AI-based systems.
From the example of research literature to corporate knowledge
At the IKV stand, visitors can try out live how the IKV’s extensive research literature can be accessed via an intelligent search interface. The example illustrates that if complex research content can be made intuitively accessible, the same applies to corporate knowledge.
Brainbridge.Knowledge powered by IKV thus opens up new possibilities for digital knowledge transfer:
- Knowledge remains available for generations of employees
- On- and offboarding processes are simplified
- Project documentation and field reports can be accessed at any time
Long-term perspective:
The platform is to be established as a common umbrella for the plastics industry. In future, IKV’s sponsoring companies could use Brainbridge.Knowledge powered by IKV to make internal know-how just as easily available as scientific literature.
Experience at K 2025 how data becomes knowledge – and knowledge becomes added value.
