News & Activities

As the company that has been given the award-winning solution on 100 Orte Industrie 4.0 Baden Württemberg by Frau Katrin Schütz, we were truly honoured to host Frau Schütz at our company. We really appreciate the time she took to know our company better and listen to the challenges that we faced as well as our success stories.  We had a great discussion about AI made in Baden-Württemberg and how we can support Baden Württemberg to lead in this area. As Frau Schütz said: „Künstliche Intelligenz ist die Schlüsseltechnologie für die Wertschöpfung der Zukunft. Die EDI GmbH leistet mit ihrer preisgekrönten Lösung einen wichtigen Beitrag dazu, dass immer mehr innovative Produkte und Dienstleistungen mit dem Siegel ‘KI made in BW‘ erfolgreich auf den Markt kommen.“ (Artificial intelligence is the key technology for future value creation. With its award-winning solution, EDI GmbH makes an important contribution to ensure that more and more innovative products and services with the 'AI made in BW' seal are successfully launched on the market.) We are looking forward to another visit and joint opportunities!

The project RELAI - Risk Estimation with a Learning AI is funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). With our cooperation partners IPG Automotive GmbH, Fraunhofer IOSB and the University of Stuttgart, the EDI hive IoT Framework is used to generate a catalog of synthetic test scenarios for the development of autonomous vehicles and to make them available to the public via a web portal. Here, AI algorithms evaluate real, challenging traffic situations in mixed traffic and convert them into synthetic scenarios. The main focus is on the behaviour of pedestrians and cyclists in critical situations as well as the expectations of these road users on the behaviour of autonomous vehicles. Another important goal is to be able to automatically calibrate different simulation environments (including a virtual reality (VR) environment) through the synthetic test scenarios. It also indicates in which areas or sections specific test scenarios can be carried out in real road tests. The automatically generated test scenarios are made accessible to the public via a web portal on the EDI hive. In addition, the EDI hive is directly linked to the mCloud, the data portal of the BMVI, so that this project also helps to build up a comprehensive mobility database in Germany.  See also at Electric mobility south-west.
