Developed And Tested With Experts
Over a total of three years, the prototype and precursor of today’s CuttingEdge portal was developed and tested as part of the research project “Inline production and quality control in the milling of metallic and CFRP products“. Within the project partners such as BMW, HUFSCHMIED, Fraunhofer FIT, inno-focus, and the University of Augsburg worked out how the quality in milling processes can be improved through the cross-company exchange of data.
The project has successfully realized goals such as the reduction of effort in quality assurance, efficiency increases, more economical use of resources, decentralized deployment of skilled workers and many more. In order to make even greater use of the potential of Industry 4.0 for cutting, milling, and drilling, CuttingEdge is being continuously developed further and expanded as a cross-company ecosystem.

The special hub with savings potentials of 20 percent or more arises from cross-company cooperation, for example, when you learn more about the use of your products by the user. This broadening of your perspective enables you to optimize production, quality management, customer service, and so on.

Data sovereignty means that you always retain control over your data and that there is no outflow of data to third parties. Your data will also not be processed commercially. You alone decide which data you want to make visible and share. This means, your know-how remains protected
