On 20 November 20 2025, National Centre for Industry 4.0 organized a meeting of the AutoSAP Supplier Division at the RICAIP Testbed Prague at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC) at the Czech Technical University in Prague. The event attracted more than forty representatives of companies, research organizations, and partners of the center. Ond\u0159ej Ber\u00e1nek, head of the Czech office of AI-MATTERS at CIIRC CTU, together with David Pe\u0161ek, Innovation Manager at EDIH CTU, spoke about financial and technological support, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. They introduced the AI MATTERS TEF and EDIH CTU projects and provided an overview of the services and opportunities available to companies. In his contribution titled \u201cA New Path for AI Innovation,\u201d<\/em> Ond\u0159ej Ber\u00e1nek offered a broad overview of emerging opportunities and outlined how they may transform the way organizations develop and deploy intelligent technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The main aim of the event was to discuss the current challenges facing the automotive industry, introduce specific technological solutions to boost production efficiency and strengthen supply chains, and highlight successful collaborations between industry and academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The programme opened with an introductory AutoSAP session focused on the current state of vehicle production and sales, as well as related topics influencing the automotive sector. This was followed by a specialist block on efficient supply chain and network management using AI, led by Deloitte CE experts Jan Hejtm\u00e1nek and Luk\u00e1\u0161 J\u00edlek. They presented modern approaches to automating procurement processes, working with inventory data, and implementing connected real-time planning \u2014 all of which help companies enhance their flexibility and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major highlight of the event was the presentation of the collaboration between AUMOVIO CZ and the RICAIP Testbed Prague, delivered by Pavel Burget (CIIRC CTU) and Jakub Hamern\u00edk (AUMOVIO). They demonstrated how this cooperation contributed to the digitalisation of the company\u2019s plant in Brand\u00fds nad Labem, helping it become part of the Global Lighthouse Network of world-leading manufacturers. They also presented the use of a digital twin of the production line in the NVIDIA Omniverse environment and follow-up activities within the RAASCEMAN project, which focuses on building resilient and adaptable supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petr Kol\u00e1\u0159 from RCMT, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at CTU, followed with examples of improving machining efficiency with added benefits in energy savings and ESG performance. He also addressed the issue of workforce shortages through production automation, opportunities to test automation and robotic applications in the RICAIP Testbed at CTU, and the funding options available for companies collaborating with CTU research teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers from CIIRC CTU \u2014 P\u0159emysl \u0160\u016fcha and Michal Sojka \u2014 then took the floor. They shared concrete examples showing how well-executed data integration and the deployment of optimisation algorithms have helped various types of manufacturing companies achieve significant savings, increase production flexibility, and reduce energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The event concluded with guided tours of both floors of the RICAIP Testbed Prague and selected CIIRC CTU laboratories. Participants visited, among others, the IMR (Intelligent and Mobile Robotics) laboratory led by Libor P\u0159eu\u010dil\u2019s team, where they learned about research in autonomous and vision-based robot navigation, logistics system optimisation, and intelligent object manipulation. Successful examples of transferring these technologies into industrial practice were also showcased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants were also impressed by a demonstration from the ROP (Robotic Perception Group) led by Karla \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1nov\u00e1, which focuses on intuitive human-robot collaboration. The team presented technologies enabling robots to learn from demonstrations, interpret human gestures and visual cues, and make multimodal decisions \u2014 allowing robots to adapt quickly to new tasks without complex programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting highlighted the essential role of close cooperation between industry, research, and technology centres in building flexible and competitive manufacturing in a time of rapid transformation in the automotive sector. We are already looking forward to organising further expert events next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
