The shortage of skilled workers and increasing economic pressure pose particular challenges for SMEs and necessitate support. Existing solutions for automated load carrier planning inadequately consider extended constraints. Scientific approaches mostly offer only mathematical models, but no applicable and freely available implementation. The aim of the project is to develop an algorithm that incorporates practically relevant constraints and is made available as an open-source library. A user-centered demo demonstrates the application with custom load carriers and objects by outputting stable stacking patterns, filler parts, and securing measures.

In this project, a mobile transfer unit, the so-called "Living Hub," is conceptualized and precisely defined. The goal is to present existing knowledge as well as new insights gained from future community projects on Smartport topics in an engaging manner—such as through exhibits, demonstrators, prototypes, and simulations—and to make them accessible and usable both for the Smartport community and for the interested public, universities, and schools.

MycelCreation
Creation of a participatory community for experimenting with mycelium based composites
Duration

The MycelCreation project provides easy-to-understand knowledge about circularity in everyday life using products made from mycelium based composite materials as practical example. This involves creating spaces for participation, both in practice-oriented workshops on site and via a digital community platform. In the workshops, products made from mycelium based composites are manufactured and knowledge about integration into a circular process is shared. The aim is to build a participatory community for discussion and exchange in order to develop new ideas for implementing mycelium-based solutions. The aim is to raise participants' awareness of resource conservation and promote an understanding of a circular economy in society.

AI Assistance System for the Plumbing-Heating-Air-Conditioning (SHK) Trade to boost Process and Workforce E ciency through Knowledge-Based Maintenance of Thermal-Technology Systems
Duration

The project’s centerpiece is an AI assistance system for the plumbing, heating and air-conditioning (SHK) trade that boosts process and workforce efficiency through knowledge-based maintenance of thermal-technology systems (e.g., heat pumps). By markedly improving first-time fault diagnosis and automating both repair and job preparation, the system aims to cut unproductive initial inspections and failed repair attempts—such as those caused by missing spare parts. To achieve this, plant data, maintenance documents (work reports, inspection protocols, maintenance checklists, etc.) and available remote-maintenance and smart-metering data are analyzed across companies and vendors using platform technologies, then transformed into knowledge representations for the AI assistant.
The BIBA as part of the project focuses on developing a semantic mediator middleware for data acquisition and transformation. In addition, a probabilistic workforce-scheduling module will be implemented to enable more efficient resource allocation within companies.

SAILEX
Sales and operations intelligence with explainable AI
Duration

The project aims to develop an AI-based analysis tool for ERP systems that combines sales data with internal and external factors. This will not only enable general sales trends to be recognised, but also individual correlations, such as discounts or external influences such as weather and political events. This helps to create more precise purchasing forecasts, avoid bottlenecks and reduce excess stock and reduce excess stock, which saves storage costs. In addition, a large language model is also used to explain the AI forecasts in order to ensure the traceability decisions, supported by explainable AI approaches.
