HUMAI - Test and demonstration of HUMan-centered AI

Important results from the project

National Gummi has changed their working method and become more data-driven. They have not yet reached the goal linked to the reduction of waste of materials, probably because more data is needed. However, the project has led to: a data-driven way of working with high traceability, increased repeatability, systematic follow-ups and improved routines and higher engagement among operators. During the project, we have also spread knowledge about human-centered AI.

Expected long term effects

Collaboration within the consortium will continue even after the end of the project, and several new initiatives are expected to emerge. The knowledge developed in the project constitutes a solid foundation for further work. A concrete sub-result is the developed template for human-centered AI, which we will share with small and medium-sized companies that want to undertake a similar development journey as National Gummi.

Approach and implementation

The project largely followed the schedule and the work packages worked well. However, the uncertainty about how far we would reach with AI‑lösning T2 made the project completion less clear, something that can be improved in the future. During the work, several new ideas emerged within digitalization and automation, which meant that we worked flexibly and experimentally to find the most valuable solutions.
