Mercedes-Benz is accelerating the transformation of its production network by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and humanoid robots at its Berlin-Marienfelde factory in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2022, Berlin-Marienfelde established itself as the global centre of competence for the digitalisation of production with the Mercedes Benz Digital Factory Campus (MBDFC), promoting the development of future software applications in a real production environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The central basis of the activities is the Mercedes-Benz Cars Operations 360 digital production ecosystem, or MO360, which contains all the important software applications and data of the global production network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mercedes-Benz has now enhanced its MO360 production system with AI features like the Digital Factory Chatbot Ecosystem and the MO360LLM Suite, and with humanoid robots from U.S.-based company Apptronik, reinforcing Berlin-Marienfelde\u2019s status as a centre for global innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, new production processes and features including those enabled through the Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) are tested before they are sent to real-life production lines at other Mercedes-Benz assembly plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMercedes-Benz Berlin-Marienfelde remains at the cutting edge of automotive production and keeps Germany on the map as a global centre for innovation. Artificial Intelligence and humanoid robots open up an exciting new frontier which make automotive production more sustainable, efficient and more intelligent.\u201d – <\/strong>J\u00f6rg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, responsible for Production, Quality & Supply Chain Management<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mercedes-Benz is committed to empowering its staff with state-of-the-art technology \u2013 and with Apollo, Mercedes-Benz brings one of world\u2019s most advanced commercial humanoid robots into its manufacturing facilities. To underscore its commitment to deploying humanoid robots in automotive production, Mercedes-Benz will make a low double-digit-million-euro investment into Apptronik, which was founded in 2016 at the Human Centered Robotics Lab at the University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mercedes-Benz has been using industrial robotics technology since the 1970s to perform particularly monotonous and physically demanding tasks. Mercedes-Benz is currently testing the integration of humanoid robots in production with an initial focus on repetitive tasks within intralogistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apptronik\u2019s Apollo can be used to transport components or modules to the production line for Mercedes-Benz\u2019s highly skilled production staff to assemble, and to carry out initial quality checks of components.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mercedes-Benz is accelerating the transformation of its production network by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and humanoid robots at its Berlin-Marienfelde factory in Germany.
