The Digitalisation Dialogue is an event format organised by BHV - Bremische Hafen- und Logistikvertretung for a professional exchange on digitalisation topics in logistics. On December 4th 2024, the use of a helium drone for inventory management from the BIBA project DroneStock will be presented in this context. Together with our partner Nagel-Group, we will present how a helium drone is used for automatic pallet inventory in high-bay warehouses. Based on tests at Nagel-Group, we will demonstrate the functionality and results of this innovative solution.

Let yourself be inspired by the possibilities that technologies like this can offer your company! Discuss with experts and exchange ideas with like-minded people about the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation in logistics.

In light of current economic and political developments, industrial SMEs are facing a wide range of challenges: A shortage of skilled labour, the energy transition, digital change and global crises must be mastered with limited resources. The aim of the event ‘Digital Innovation in Industry and SMEs: Artificial Intelligence as a Locational Advantage’ on November 26 in Bremerhaven is to initiate the transformation to a sustainable and resilient corporate structure by discussing strategies for dealing with these challenges and highlighting visions for the future through digitalisation and artificial intelligence.

The event is being organised by the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg (partner of BIBA) together with BIS Bremerhaven and the Bremen Chamber of Commerce. Co-operation partners are: Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Rheinland, #MOIN - MOdellregion INdustriemathematik, Transfer Centre for Artificial Intelligence - Bremen.AI and Regionales Zukunftszentrum Nord. Join the discussion and develop a competitive advantage for your company through digitalisation and AI!

To get future scientists interested in engineering at an early stage, BIBA is once again taking part in the Technology Park's autumn internship programme. All school students who are interested in an exciting internship during the autumn holidays are warmly invited to apply.

You will gain exclusive insights into research projects with theoretical and practical components. By working in the laboratories and with the technical equipment, you will learn about research topics and methods and have the opportunity to apply them yourself. This year's focus will be on the topics of human-technology interaction and human-robot collaboration. Here, the students will learn how humans and robots can work hand in hand and safely in future workplaces without safety fences and will be involved in the programming of collaborative robots for production.

We look forward to working together with young researchers for a week!

In order to tackle the climate crisis, it is essential to replace fossil fuels with renewable energies. At the same time, energy must be used efficiently. For strategic and economic reasons, many manufacturing companies are currently looking for solutions to implement sustainable energy generation and use for themselves.

Would you also like to produce in a more energy-efficient and cost-saving way? Then come to our innovation workshop! We will be happy to show you how the energy transition in production companies can succeed through the use of sustainable energy systems and the digitalization of production. We pay particular attention to the potential of sector coupling and the conversion of processes. Let yourself be inspired by impulses and demonstrators from current projects and join us in the innovation workshop, where we will address your individual needs and wishes for more sustainability and energy efficiency.

The innovation workshop is organized by the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg in cooperation with the BIBA, the Environmental Business Office, the Bremen Chamber of Commerce - IHK for Bremen and Bremerhaven and the Bremen Chamber of Crafts.

In the interests of climate protection and energy transition, production and logistics, as the largest consumers of primary energy, must be persuaded to rethink: Away from compensation payments, towards the use of renewable energies, the application of efficiency technologies and the formation of flexibility measures. In this context, the BIBA - Bremen Institute of Production and Logistics is conducting research into future value creation in production and logistics systems based on a sustainable product life cycle. Circular economy and energy are key success factors here. One focus of this research is the integration of energy systems in production and logistics systems at product and process level, specifically in the area of the generation, storage and use of renewable energies in the electricity, heating and mobility sectors. During the guided tour in the BIBA research hall, we will explore the question of how climate-neutral, competitive production and logistics processes can be generated and implemented in order to create added value for society. Join us and

• find out how BIBA, with its holistic view of production and logistics, contributes to the creation and use of innovative synergy effects through the integrated use of renewable energies and sector coupling.
• explore an energy self-sufficient learning factory that has produced innovative solutions for nature conservation in Blockland, among other things.
• Get to know a low-code platform that makes it possible to develop AI models independently and without expert knowledge with the aim of identifying potential energy savings in production.

The lab tour is offered by BIBA in cooperation with the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg and the Lilienthal Volunteer Agency.

Digital transformation, climate change and the maritime energy transition require ground-breaking, implementable solutions - and they will be in the spotlight at the SMM 2024 maritime trade fair. BIBA will be present with LogDynamics at the joint stand of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and present the topic of digitalization in the maritime industry.

We warmly invite you to visit us at stand 130 in hall B7. You can look forward to getting to know our maritime-related projects and be inspired by examples of digitalization in the port. Find out how you can use artificial intelligence to optimally plan and control port handling or how autonomous driving processes and dynamic storage and logistics concepts can be implemented on automotive terminals in the future.

Do you also generate data in your company but do not use it optimally? Under the motto "AI for Lean IoT", we will show you in the innovation workshop how you can use artificial intelligence to create a low-threshold IoT platform to optimally collect and use your production data.

Find out how you can meet the challenge of integrating many different devices, data and data sources and integrate them into a single, easy-to-use IoT data platform. Based on proven and secure open source software, you can store, visualize and transform data and information, as well as create customized applications - without being tied to a specific vendor and as a long-term investment for your future IoT strategy.

The innovation workshop is offered in cooperation between BIBA, the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg and SWMS Consulting GmbH.

How will we actually live in the north-west in ten years' time? Some technological and social developments are already foreseeable. This will be discussed over three days in August at the Growmorrow future festival. Celebrities such as Sascha Lobo, Frank Thelen and Claudia Kemfert will take to the stage to talk and discuss with many clever people from the region. The core question is always what the north-west needs to do today and tomorrow in order to be successful and liveable the day after tomorrow. Because change is coming anyway - we only benefit if we shape it. 

Growmorrow is an event organised by the Nordwest-Mediengruppe. In Wilhelmshaven (8th of August), Oldenburg (15th of August) and Aurich (22nd of August), the future of energy production, mobility, education, healthcare and many other topics will be discussed. The festival day in Wilhelmshaven will focus on the port industry. In line with this, BIBA will be presenting a demonstrator from the Port2Connect project with the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg. Port2Connect is developing a digital port logbook that increases the transparency and visibility of processes in the port and enables automatic planning and optimisation with artificial intelligence. The intelligent monitoring and assistance system digitally accompanies and monitors ships during their stay in the harbour. The port logbook is being developed as an example for 2,200 metres of the Stromkaje in Bremerhaven. Sounds interesting? Then come and visit us in Wilhelmshaven and take a look into the future with us!
