PAL

The PerspektiveArbeit Lausitz (PAL) project brings together the expertise of interdisciplinary teams from the fields of labor research and engineering at five universities, as well as 27 companies and associations from Saxony and Brandenburg. The aim of the project is to make the working world in Lusatia more efficient, attractive, and healthier through the use of data-based assistance systems.

HSZG subproject: “Human resources development with the support of AI assistance systems/digital twins”

As part of the subproject at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG), the use of AI assistance systems and digital twins in human resources development is being investigated and promoted. These technologies offer customized learning programs, automated feedback mechanisms, and real-time support, enabling companies to increase productivity and reduce costs.

The use of small, efficient AI models makes it possible to implement specialized solutions locally in a cost-effective and data protection-compliant manner. Such models are powerful and adaptable to the specific needs of a company. In addition, multimodal AI systems improve interaction, for example by analyzing visual data in production processes, which leads to optimized workflows and better resource utilization.

Special attention is paid to the implementation of these technological innovations in existing operational processes. Studies show that only 5% of such implementations are successful. Therefore, the subproject pursues an ergonomic approach that, in contrast to previous solutions, first takes into account the framework conditions of the existing operational organization. This creates a customized basis for the development of competence requirements in dealing with AI assistance systems in order to ensure the successful implementation of new digital technologies in the company.
