Fraunhofer IAO | Research and Innovation Center for Cognitive Service Systems (KODIS)

Why KODIS...

In themselves, digital technologies are nothing new and their use is very widespread. What is new, however, is that digitalization is increasingly linking cross-company and cross-sector service processes to form service systems. This results in new service offerings and in some cases completely new business models.

Whether in the field of logistics, transport, services of general interest, or mechanical engineering - in the future, only those providers will be successful who link digital processes in such a way that customer-specific added value is created.

This is where KODIS comes in. With our core competences, we accompany you on the way of becoming a data-based service organization:

• Automated collection of process data and data analysis
• Managing, analyzing, referencing and connecting large amounts of data
• Using machine learning and AI-algorithms for data analysis
• Digital change management and promotion of a digital service culture

Located on Heilbronn's Bildungscampus since May 2019

The Research and Innovation Center for Cognitive Service Systems (KODIS) is the new branch office of the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) on the Bildungscampus in Heilbronn. We are a growing, interdisciplinary team of data scientists, engineers, geographers, city planners, economists, and social scientists. 

In cooperation with the LOGWERT competence center, we have been realizing a variety of projects in the field of logistics and related sectors. Having gained both industry-specific process knowhow and data analysis skills, we systematically transfer our expertise to other service-specific fields of application.
