Tasks & Functions
FOD (Foreign Object Debris) inspection at airports detects potential safety hazards caused by objects in operational areas. Inspectors perform this task by walking or driving around with the naked eye at least four times a day. To enhance safety, reliability and inclusivity, SEISMEC will co-develop and implement an AI-driven, real-time and mobile inspection system mounted on a car and connected to a mobile data processing and interface system. It also changes the functions of inspectors, who now can perform inspections through advanced technologies. More workers can be included to carry out inspections (e.g., including people with reduced mobility).
Kvalitetas is a functional food production company with a 100+ product portfolio, each with specific technological configurations and logistic needs. SEISMEC will implement AI and IoT technologies to support workers in the decision-making process for this complex range of products, using explainable AI to enhance capabilities. This will bring the tasks and functions of workers to a higher level of monitoring and configuration of food processes. As a result, Kvalitetas can innovate its business model by expanding the range and increasing the value of its products.
Mostostal Warszawa S.A. stands as one of Poland's largest construction companies, boasting a 79-year history steeped in tradition. The Digitalization and Innovation Office is instrumental in implementing digital platforms and BIM tools on construction sites. Additionally, it prioritizes nurturing and advancing digital skills among the company's employees and subcontractors. Moreover, it is responsible for the implementation of solutions related to the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence on construction sites. As safety on the construction sites is an outstanding value and goal of the company, SEISMEC will complement their operations with solutions that include AI for identification of risky situations. This will reconfigure transparent and explainable technology that empowers workers in communication aspects of reporting safety measures and practices on construction sites.
NTT DATA Romania (NTTD), as a pivotal part of the global NTT DATA network, excels in delivering comprehensive IT services and solutions tailored to a wide range of industries, including finance, telecommunications, and public sector projects. With its roots deeply embedded in the NTT Group's history of innovation and service excellence, NTT DATA Romania leverages the collective expertise of 2000 professionals in offering cutting-edge technological solutions. Within SEISMEC, the People Experience Redesign (PRD) initiative aims to improve the work environment for NTT DATA Romania to enhance job satisfaction and employee retention. One of the key challenges in our post-pandemic context is the lack of interaction and learning opportunities within teams. SEISMEC plans to leverage PRD concepts to develop a new interactive employee journey. This approach can help identify crucial moments in the employee journey and create personalised experiences based on design thinking methodology, aligned with individual values and needs.
Ateş Wind Power is a big components manufacturer in the wind sector. Actual training on areas like welding and work at height can pose a significant risk in terms of safety and self-confidence building of the employees. To mitigate this risk, SEISMEC will co-implement AR-VR technologies, creating an immersive and less stressful learning environment, so that trainees get a realistic understanding of such processes while reducing psychological stress.
Michelin produces and sells automotive tires. SEISMEC will co-develop a task recommender application to support workers in various environments. This AI application enables real-time task scheduling on complex industrial equipment and aids workers in anticipating upcoming tasks. Operators will have decision-making tools for automated equipment, ensuring worker engagement and skilling based on information.
SELANA is a manufacturer of light electric vehicles. SEISMEC will test new technologies to enhance worker satisfaction and upskilling at different stages of the product cycle. The pilot will focus on understanding and exploring Human in the Loop Automation (HITL) for inventory & stock management; assessing and implementing generative AI for industrial design where individual skill-sets are seamlessly integrated, fostering collaboration between human creativity and technological advancement to drive innovation; improving health & safety in the warehouse by leveraging new technologies to create a safer and more conducive working environment while training and upskilling workers.
Fratelli Piacenza produces high-quality textiles and fabrics. SEISMEC will co-implement AI techniques through a microservice-based deployment architecture, either as a cloud service or on-site. A knowledge base supported by a testbed environment will guide users to AI techniques and fine-tune parameters for defect detection. Human operators will have real-time interaction through augmented reality, voice-assistance, and mobile-based human-computer interaction methods. This will enable employee co-design of technology tied to reward mechanisms, as well as lower strain for quality controllers.
Arctur is an innovation specialist company and the initiator of the Tourism 4.0 partnership. They work to inspire and empower organisations to reinvent themselves and co-create products and services, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future for the EU tourism sector. In SEISMEC they will work together with Green Karst destination, to develop a platform for monitoring tourism flows, including demand estimation methods that allow for better work allocation between tourism providers, collaboration between providers in the region for joint business advantages, and skilling to enable workers to take advantage of these resources.
