Location & approach

via car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits. It is best to park in the large parking lot on Otto-Hahn-Straße.

via train and bus

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen, and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447, and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

via H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund University is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

via airplane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Summary

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are now also recognizing the enormous potential of artificial intelligence (AI) for innovating their business models. For example, AI can be used to create and utilize more accurate forecasts than before for the maintenance of machines. However, SMEs in particular face challenges in implementing AI-based solutions and customer-centric offerings compared to large enterprises in terms of technical expertise, scalable infrastructure, data privacy concerns, and quantity and quality of AI training data. The potential of AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) for SMEs lies in leveraging key third-party technical resources and implementation expertise. However, SMEs often have almost no experience with AIaaS solutions either.

The goal of the project is to develop solution building blocks for SMEs so that they can effectively use AIaaS solutions, integrate them into their own products and services, and implement innovative business models along the way. The solution modules of the D-AI-Y toolbox include business model patterns for AIaaS-based services and associated implementation concepts, which are made accessible to interested SMEs via low-threshold methods of knowledge transfer with an online portal, workshops and guides.
