How can artificial intelligence support the safety inspection of machines? What does the increasing digitalization of human-machine interaction mean for occupational safety? How robust is Industry 4.0 against cyberattacks? These and other questions will be addressed by international experts in a digital lecture series developed by the IFA in cooperation with the Section Machine and System Safety of the International Social Security Association (ISSA).

Every Monday afternoon from April 15, 2024, you can look forward to an exciting hour of lectures and discussions in English. Registration is not necessary, you can simply dial in via the registration link to the WebEx conference. Please note that the starting time varies!

April 29th 2 pm (CEST)	AI for supporting the examination of machines Testing and certification are important components of primary prevention. The Food and Packaging Testing and Certification Body in DGUV Test (PZ Body) tests highly complex machines with essential hazardous points. These tests concern both the machine itself and its technical documentation, such as the operating instructions. In order to relieve the employees of the burden of checking the operating instructions, which often consist of several hundred pages, the software tool "IRIS" was created in several preparatory meetings and then during a hackathon (a word created from "hack" and "marathon"). This tool makes the work of the inspectors easier and also reduces the risk of overlooked danger points on a machine. IRIS is based on modern software algorithms with tools from the field of artificial intelligence (AI).	Oliver Schmitt BGN, Mannheim Germany Join seminar
