In IIP-Ecosphere, we develop an ecosystem to reduce obstacles in the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in production and its related processes with the aim to foster intelligent production systems. A framework will be established for

  • the unconstrained introduction of AI applications in SMEs
  • new, AI-driven services and data exchange
  • true AI-driven process chains
  • cooperation of diverse stakeholders
  • increased compatibility of systems
The “Chair of Information Systems, Innovation and Value Creation” primarily leverages its expertise in the areas of innovation, stakeholder integration, service systems engineering and business model design to support this undertaking. During the project, researcher of the chair are mainly responsible for the development of business models accompanying AI utilization and support in innovation.

The main objective of the project “Digitization of the central transfer procedure for temporary employment” is the evaluation of a software that enables the digital admission process of temporary contract workers. Within this project the functionality of the interfaces, in particular with regard to the impact of digitization on safety and health at work, economic efficiency, the time required and the transparency of the provided software solution are being evaluated. The research project focuses on how the new software influences different work practices in a day to day environment. It distinguishes between the tasks of the company that receives the temporary contractors and the agency that provides the contractors.

Together with partners from the sectors, the project is developing solutions on how competences can be pooled in the network with other actors. Procuring the necessary competences via digital competence pools increases resilience in value creation networks. Competence pools are digital contact points for companies to identify critical competences for specific sectors and simulate crisis scenarios and their possible effects using AI algorithms, for example. Mechanisms and specific measures for the provision and procurement of necessary competences can also be developed in line with potential disruptions. Platform- or community-based approaches enable companies to access critical competences in their network across company boundaries in crisis situations. This includes mechanisms for ensuring a balance between trust and competitive aspects, as well as hidden competence monopolies and risk mitigation mechanisms.

The research project ROBIN investigates how the resilience of municipalities in their respective regional interdependencies can be improved by orchestrating citizen-driven innovation. The focus is on exploring design knowledge for an open digital innovation platform for municipalities and how this can be sustained in the long term. Within the platform where civil society innovators can organize on their own to collaboratively develop solutions in crisis situations.

The research project „New spatial concepts for the research of tomorrow at the School of Business, Economics and Society” aims to design and evaluate a new collaborative spatial concept for scientific work at universities. To achieve this, existing office spaces at the School of Business, Economics and Society of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg will be transformed into activity-based workspaces. The design will be tailored to meet the unique requirements of knowledge work and research at universities, while also taking into account possible restrictions due to structural conditions. By redesigning the office space, the project seeks to increase employee satisfaction, motivation and productivity. In this way, the university will be able to position itself as an attractive employer and a hub for generating innovations in the future.
