“Parameter Cross Interaction of Fully Automated Adhesive Application Processes for Automotive Applications”
Presentation at the EURADH & ADHESION 2016, in cooperation with BMW Thomas Bäck was involved in a research project that dealt with cold setting multi-component adhesives used for crash relevant components in the automotive industry. The aim was to determine the interdependencies of the process parameters in a fully automated [...]
Presentation at the ERFA 2017
Frank Hebel talks about “Increasing process stability by means of data analysis, modeling and global optimization” Once a year the REFA/VDG-Committee of foundry organizes a conference to exchange experience, called ERFA. At this occasion professionals from the foundry industry are given the opportunity to sit together and share their experience [...]
Deep Learning
For the artificial intelligence the so-called deep learning bears much potential for progress It is a method for processing information which is drawn from huge bulks of data and it detects connections between the different kinds information. For this purpose, multi-layer neural networks, deep networks, are used. The depth of [...]
Technology of Industry 4.0
Predictive Maintenance by means of sensor technology As a consequence of increasing complexity and digitalization the subject area “Technologies of Industry 4.0” is an important factor for the success of a production line. Currently, divis is involved in the development of a system for predictive maintenance for the automotive industry. [...]
Solving complex optimization problems more efficiently: New results of our research project MONREP
Within our research project MONREP (in cooperation with Prof. Konen, TH Cologne), we have developed a new optimization algorithm for high-dimensional, nonlinear, constrained applications. The algorithm is based on so-called response-surface methods for learning the objective function as well as the constraints from evaluations. For benchmark problems as well as [...]
European Adhesion Conference and International Triennial Conference
Thomas Bäck writes as co-author for an important conference At the „Eleventh European Adhesion Conference and Thirteenth International Triennial Conference on the Science and Technology of Adhesion and Adhesives“ (EURADH & ADHESION 2016), which took place September 21.-23. 2016 in Glasgow, UK, Mrs. Paulina Sierak, BMW AG, held a lecture [...]
Quality control of effect painting by means of picture development software
In the automotive industry car bodies are painted with effect coatings to get a valuable appearance. Of course, the single building components must always have exactly the same color without the slightest deviation. To guarantee this, a color matching system should help to notice deviations as soon as possible. This [...]
Presentation of the results of the research project CHEMAX
Thomas Bäck will introduce research results at the GECCO (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference) in Denver, USA. Divis participated at the research project CHEMAX that was aimed at introducing a derivative-free memetic algorithm for the optimization of chemical process synthesis. Together with their project partners from research and business divis [...]
