Case Study on the Use of New Technologies in Companies

Abstract

The aim of this case study is to survey primarily small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Nürnberger Land region regarding their use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, mobile and stationary robotic systems, and the potential for automating tasks and processes.

This includes identifying technologies already in use, assessing willingness to adopt new technologies in production, quality management and technical communication, and understanding the challenges and barriers involved. Surveys are to be methodically prepared, suitable companies identified, and decision-makers interviewed and evaluated.

The result is a summarising presentation of the findings and a brief assessment of potentially relevant technologies for this sector.
