Steps for collaboration
How is the process with AI-MATTERS?
How we articulate collaborative testing and experimentation.
AI-MATTERS offers a variety of ways to conduct collaborative trials and experiments, taking advantage of its network of test and experimental facilities (TEFs) distributed throughout Europe:
Testing of technological solutions in real manufacturing environments in our laboratories.
Development of use cases and generation of real data from end users in the manufacturing sector, with the objective of validating and perfecting technological solutions.
Design of collaborative experiments between end users and technology providers.
Within this framework, AI-MATTERS focuses primarily on applied research, including:
Validation of technologies in the laboratory or in relevant industrial environments.
Demonstration of technological solutions.
System prototyping.
And the finalization and qualification of systems ready for implementation.
