Starting signal for LOTSE joint project

The Chair of Databases at Dresden University of Technology is a partner in the ERDF R&D joint project LOTSE - an AI project to optimize chip production in Saxony. The joint project of the semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries with the two medium-sized Dresden companies Advanced Data Provessing GmbH and FlowLogiX as well as the HTW Dresden and the TU Dresden is pushing for shorter production times, the reduction of process risks and virtual measurements in chip production with the help of artificial intelligence. 
Research tasks of the Chair of Databases in this project include the modeling of production times and results, as well as the automated evaluation of error messages during production.

The European Union and the Free State of Saxony are funding the project with 5.4 million euros over the three-year term. Minister of State Martin Dulig recently symbolically presented the funding decision to the partners involved. "Microchips are known to be the oil of the 21st century," he emphasized. "SMEs and research in Saxony will benefit from the investments made by the semiconductor companies."
