Overview

blueAIC is a research-driven technology provider for online-adaptive AI systems in industrial environments. Its activities are structured around three core areas:
​
  • Research and development
    Design and further development of proprietary online machine learning methods and their transfer into industry-ready software libraries for real-world applications.

  • AI-driven Edge Computing (AIoT)
    Realization of system components and prototypes for AI-based data analytics and automation, built on industrial-grade enclosure and connectivity technology – designed for applications ranging from laboratory operation to productive field deployment.

  • Consulting
    Support from initial feasibility analysis to the implementation of AI-based products, processes, and applications.
​
​
Objective

The objective is to advance the transformation of AI applications from batch learning to online learning, thereby reducing resource demands and enabling continuous adaptivity across the entire lifecycle.
