On 01.02.2023 we were pleased to welcome our new research associate, Clemens Schlegel, to the PtU team. Within the project ProKI, Mr. Schlegel is studying applications of artificial intelligence for monitoring forming processes and their introduction in small and medium-sized enterprises.

During his studies, Mr. Schlegel already contributed to the development of AI-based process monitoring at PtU. Within a project work titled “Semantic Segmenting Wear Monitoring of Blanking Punches through Image-based Application of Convolutional Neural Networks” he and a group of fellow students developed a system for stroke-wise optical monitoring of the punch in a highly dynamic blanking process. Using convolutional neural networks, the analysis of the spatial wear distribution on the blanking tool was established.

We look forward to a successful collaboration!
