The official kick-off meeting of the IPMAI project took place at the Software Competence Center Hagenberg from 8 to 9 April 2024. IPMAI is a synonym for Interpretable Prescriptive Maintenance using Artificial Intelligence. Objective of this project is the development of a new artificial intelligence (AI)-based maintenance strategy for machines with gearboxes.

IPMAI's approach is of general applicability because of its AI-generated explanations innovative in terms of user acceptance and because of the use of the gearbox as a general wear indicator.

Under the lead of SCCH, we will be working on this innovative topic together with 7 other project partners from Austria and the Czech Republick over the next three years.

The consortium consists of the following organisations:

• Software Competence Center Hagenberg GmbH (Leadpartner)
• University of Applied Science Upper Austria, Research and Development GmbH
• AC2T research GmbH
• University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice
• College of Polytechnics in Jihlava
• Intemac Solutions, s.r.o.
• CDP Center for Digital Production GmbH
• Business Upper Austria – OÖ Wirtschaftsagentur GmbH
• dataPartner s.r.o.

This project is co-funded by the European Union within the Interreg Austria-Czechia – programme.
