Systematic strategy for maximum impact
MTU Aero Engines has developed a comprehensive AI strategy in collaboration with appliedAI to fully leverage the value potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the areas of development, production, and maintenance. Through this systematic approach, which included maturity assessment and market analysis, the Munich-based global company has defined three strategic focus areas for AI applications:
Product development - Acceleration of development times and more efficient resource utilization
Production - Increased efficiency and improved prediction of production parameters
Maintenance - Greater customer proximity and better synchronization of internal processes
Establishment of an AI Competence Center
An essential success is the establishment of an AI Center of Excellence (AI CoE), which aims to support the sustainable implementation of AI in the company and promote AI awareness. The center serves as a central point of contact for all AI activities, consolidates expertise, manages the project portfolio, and further develops implementation guidelines.
Anchoring in the company through broad participation
The successful implementation of the project was based on a joint introduction to AI, the involvement of all relevant stakeholders, and the exchange with companies from similar industries. This way, MTU was able to achieve not only technological advancements but also create company-wide acceptance for targeted AI deployment.
