AI in Industrial Systems: From Engineering Automation to Intelligent Communication

Location:Innovation StageTrack:Presentations

Moderation: David Goldman, Science and Innovation Ecosystem Manager, ICT, Innovation Salzburg GmbH

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly becoming an integral part of industrial systems, transforming both engineering processes and operational environments. This Salzburg Session highlights two practical examples from industry that demonstrate how AI can simplify complex workflows, improve efficiency, and enhance interaction between people and technology.

From AI-assisted engineering of automation systems to intelligent voice-enabled communication in industrial environments, the session provides insights into real-world implementations and lessons learned from bringing innovative technologies into practice.

Talk 1: Agentic Engineering: Accelerating Software-Defined Automation, Moritz Berner, Technology Scout, COPA-DATA, and Dietmar Glachs, Research Project Coordinator, COPA-DATA

COPA-DATA presents a practical use case demonstrating how AI-supported engineering workflows can accelerate the development and deployment of automation solutions. The presentation shows how Agentic Engineering and Software-Defined Automation reduce manual effort, improve transparency, and shorten the path from process specification to an operational industrial application.

Talk 2: Ivy Live Translation: AI-Powered Multilingual Communication for Logistics and Industry, Tom Horcicka, Product Management, Commend

Ivy Live Translation is an AI-powered cloud service designed to eliminate language barriers across industrial and logistics operations. The presentation demonstrates how real-time, speech-to-speech voice translation resolves communication bottlenecks at access gates, loading docks, and high-security checkpoints where international truck drivers and site operators meet, preventing costly delays, improving gate turnaround times, and ensuring strict compliance with site safety protocols.
