Very often we face problem shifting where solutions that improve or solve a targeted problem unintentionally create new problems of environmental\, economic or social nature somewhere else in the systems affected by our choice. \n\n\n\nLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) shows all the potential impact of our choices\, through the analysis of the whole life cycle of the system or product that is the object of the study and it covers a broad range of potential impacts for which it attempts to perform a quantitative assessment.   \n\n\n\n\n\nScientists or science managers who develop decision support\, or make decisions where sustainability is a concern\, should understand the need to view the solutions in a life cycle perspective and to consider possible trade-offs between environmental impacts and between the three sustainability dimensions.  \n\n\n\nRenewable energy technologies are often improperly flagged as “green” in different media. However\, this denomination often only holds when they are considered solely in their use stage and mainly in relation to climate change impacts. Renewables have important environmental impacts outside their use/operation stage\, e.g. production. Therefore\, when taking the whole life cycle of renewables-based energy systems\, one may demonstrate that they are “greener” than fossil-based energy systems\, but they are not free of any environmental impacts. In the second part of this talk we will consider this secondary\, but important aspect of the life cycle of any energy generation system\, from extraction of materials for construction to decommissioning and disposal of any power plant. \n\n\n\n\n\n10:30 –  10:45 Coffee break \n\n\n\n\n\n10:45 – 11:30  \n\n\n\nTALK: Sustainable Means Circular – Key Principles to Implement in the Accelerating Green Transition \n\n\n\nMiroslav Londýn Start-up Consultant and Consultant for Business and Sustainability\, JIC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlobally\, our current economy is linear – when creating products\, the approach is Take-Make-Use-Lose. We take materials and energy from our environment and manufacture products from them. The results are then sold to customers and when the life cycle ends\, waste is generated. There are two main issues with this. It’s highly ineffective – lot of resources\, money and value are getting lost in the process. The second one is that it’s very unsustainable – resources get depleted and we’re already running out of them\, and the amount of unutilized waste is growing immensely. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe solution is transitioning to circular economy\, where the created value and attained resources are used as effectively\, and as long as possible. With respect to our environmental\, social and economic needs. This means exploring new business models\, stretching the lifetime of products\, using waste as a resource\, or taking advantage of digital technologies. Above all\, it means great interdisciplinary cooperation and advancement of knowledge and innovation. Science and engineering\, as well as public sector and local communities\, play a crucial role in this. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:30 – 12:15  \n\n\n\nTALK: Eco-design and Innovative Materials as a Way to Sustainable Products\n\n\n\nEliška Knotková CEO\, Eco-Design Studio Balance is Motion \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEcodesign can be defined as the systematic consideration of the environmental aspect during product design and development. The goal is to create solutions whose environmental impacts are as small as possible across the entire life cycle of a given product. At the same time\, the environmental factor must be balanced with functional\, technological\, aesthetic and economic aspects. The lecture will present possible strategies and principles that can be applied in ecodesign – such as modularity\, biomimicry\, design for repairability\, emotional durability and more. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe materials used can significantly affect the environmental impacts associated with the entire life cycle of products. Through the choice of optimal materials\, it is possible to highlight not only the functionality\, price\, visual and haptic qualities\, but also the durability of the product and its potential circularity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare on Facebook\n\nShare on Twitter\n\nShare on LinkedIn

This gives you the opportunity to discuss with selected experts and contribute to the strategic research and innovation agenda for AI in Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 1 \n\n\n\n9:00 – 9:15Welcome & Objectives09:15 – 09:35Industrial AI for the Next Decade of Industry 4.0– Prof. Dr. Wolfgang WahlsterDFKI GmbH09:35 – 09:50 Benefits of Trustworthy AI in Manufacturing– Dr. Georg SchneiderAI Tech Center / ZF Group09:50 – 10:00Coffee Break & Socialising10:00 – 11:30Parallel Breakout sessions11:30 – 12:30Plenary presentation of key findings from the Breakout sessions12:30 – 13:30Lunch break & Socialising\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 2 \n\n\n\n13:30 – 13:45AI Ecosystem Supporting Industry 4.0Prof. Vladimír MaříkCzech Institute of Informatics\, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC TU)13:45 – 14:00Importance of Explainable AI for IndustrySanjit ShewaleABB Process Industries14:00 – 15:30 Parallel Breakout sessions15:30 – 15:45Coffee Break & Socialising15:45 – 16:45Plenary presentation of key findings from the Breakout sessions16:45 – 17:30Closing & Socialising\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout sessions\n\n\n\n\n\nTrustworthy AI in Future ManufacturingWith this session\, we would like to initially define the strategic challenges and derive relevant major topics and industrial applications where it is critical that the AI is trustworthy.Federated Learning for Future ManufacturingThis session addresses the challenge of training AI models without giving up data sovereignty. What are approaches to share models instead of data?Human-Robot and Human-Machine Interaction in Manufacturing ProcessesThis session aims to identify ways to realise partly automated processes or to stabilise highly automated processes through smart dialogue systems that incorporate and combine a plethora of different interaction methods in Human-Robot or Humane- Machine interaction.Optimizing assembly componentsOperators often struggle in finding the best combination of groups of parts before the assembly based on their experience. This session is about simulation approaches to find the best combination of groups of parts before the assembly.Retrofitting of AIWe bring a lot of AI into the production processes as well as machines. But how will AI react in the future react when new sensors will be included\, new machinery being brought in or if software upgrades are getting installed? Will there arise a need to retrofit or updated everything?AI in product developmentThis breakout session deals with the use of Data for development and construction of products by adjusting materials\, measurements according to the need and best results from the manufacturing processes\, e.g.\, to enhance the design of products.Smart Manufacturing for Space ApplicationsThis breakout session focuses on the challenges and opportunities for AI that arise in manufacturing in the context of Space exploration and Earth observation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe invite the community to suggest further topics of interest for the breakout sessions. Please use the online application form for your suggestions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAI in Digital FactoriesAI-intensive systems share a lot of data\, whilst their algorithms consume data\, build models and use these models to produce new data. AI thrives the need for trusted\, interoperable data spaces as it enables new forms of business and research opportunities.Industrial applications of Explainable AI AI-intensive systems share a lot of data\, whilst their algorithms consume data\, build models and use these models to produce new data. AI thrives the need for trusted\, interoperable data spaces as it enables new forms of business and research opportunities.Optimization and Machine Learning for Better Manufacturing ProcessesThis breakout session will discuss what the obstacles and challenges for the implementation of advanced methods combining Optimisation and Machine Learning in manufacturing companies are.Zero Defect ManufacturingThis breakout session deals with AI technology methods like data-based modelling to detect out-of-control (OOC) states in classical Statistical Process Control (SPC) from in- process data enabling continuous monitoring and earlier detection of problems with a simultaneous reduction or near elimination of expensive post-process quality inspection.Psychological approach for data labellingThis breakout session will discuss sustainable approaches in combining psychology with elements of labelling technologies to ensure high data quality (standardization) which is needed to apply AI in manufacturing.Reality independent AIThis breakout session will address the question of how the potential of digital twins with synthetic data can be uncovered in image data (e.g. for AI quality inspection or object recognition) for manufacturing.Democratising AIThe aim of this breakout session is to uncover who is already able to use AI in manufacturing and whether only large companies or also smaller companies benefit from the use of AI and if both parties also benefit from each other and exchange knowledge?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheme Development Workshops cut across multiple ICT-48 Networks of AI Excellence Centres while bringing together researchers\, industry representatives\, and other stakeholders to identify industry trends and needs and match these to AI capabilities in Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\nTDWs are co-organised by the VISION project in close cooperation with the TAILOR and HumanE-AI-Net projects as well as with CLAIRE AISBL. \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganising Committee
