Pro2Future GmbH

Pro²Future derives from Products and Production Systems of the Future.

Our name is our mission: We dedicate ourselves to research in the field of industrial ICT, with special regard on the development of so called cognitive products and cognitive production systems. Our research is deliberately aligned with ambitious and visionary targets and is oriented beyond “Industry 4.0” right now. Expressed in simplified terms, we want to scientifically support enterprises in their digitalization efforts.

Pro²Future’s Research Program is consolidating research results within two core areas for "Cognitive Products" and "Cognitive Production Systems", underpinned with three major scientific areas, each taken from foundational and goal-oriented research disciplines related to cognitive systems, namely "Perception and Aware Systems", "Cognitive Robotics and Shop Floors", and "Cognitive Decision Making".

In addition to maintaining the established and strongly cooperating area structure of Pro²Future, the researchers at the center will primarily focus on current cross-cutting issues and new research challenges in the current research period: Pervasive AI, Causality, Explainable AI, Edge Analytics, Engineering for Distributed AI, Analytical User Guidance, Failsafe & Robust AI, and AI for Sustainable Production.

Pro²Future is highly interested in international collaborative research- and project opportunities!
