“As a pioneer of digital transformation in our industry, we have consistently integrated artificial intelligence into our work processes,” explains Georg Weber, member of the Executive Board and CTO of the Wilo Group. “We develop our expertise and innovative ideas in our AI Competence Center. The technologies are used in both production and administration and make a significant contribution to increasing efficiency.” The adaptive worker assistance system is particularly noteworthy. It is used in the Smart Factory at Wilopark in Dortmund and has already received the esteemed Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award (MIMA). It is considered the benchmark in the sector and accelerates digital transformation.
Alongside Wilo, other companies such as Engel Austria, Miele, Phoenix Contact, and Siemens Mobility were also honoured with the award. In order to promote the exchange of knowledge and learn from each other, representatives of the five award-winning companies will visit each other’s sites at the end of 2024. The award ceremony will take place at the beginning of 2025.
