Together with companies, the TTZ works on research and development projects in the field of data analytics & artificial intelligence. One concrete application example is the automation of tire carcass preparation at Rigdon GmbH in Günzburg; a project for which funding has been applied for from the German Federal Environmental Foundation. The aim is to increase automation, relieve employees of dust-intensive and physically demanding tasks, increase the competitiveness of retreaded truck tires and save raw materials, energy and CO2.
During a tour of the plant, the member of the Bundestag was able to gain an impression of the complex tire retreading process. "With the TTZ, companies from the districts of Günzburg and Neu-Ulm have a competent contact for all questions regarding artificial intelligence. Research and development make an important contribution to value creation and thus to the prosperity of our society," said MdB Alexander Engelhard, assessing his impressions at the TTZ. He added that it is very important to advocate for funding and financing and also to train junior staff accordingly with new AI courses of study.
