Support programming and diagnostics
Code, logs and documentation are used in relation to the task.
Turn automation knowledge
into usable suggestions faster
Support programming, diagnostics and plant analysis with technically connected AI.
Control code, messages and plant documentation contain valuable knowledge that often has to be brought together laboriously in the project. AI can support this work if it reaches the data and the technical context.
IQstruct Engineering connects AI with automation and simulation expertise. Fields of application are code support, diagnostics, model preparation, image inspection and anomaly detection. Assistants can prepare information from plants or ERP systems; decisions on changes remain subject to technical review.

In a free first conversation we clarify which feature is to be recognised and what consequence its result has in the plant.
Scope of services
Open up plant data for analyses
Aurora and custom interfaces deliver the data base required.
Research resource efficiency
VIBNAssist investigates AI support for programming and potential for optimisation.
Connecting AI with automation knowledge
IQstruct Engineering connects AI with automation and simulation expertise.
Fields of application are code support, diagnostics, model preparation, image inspection and anomaly detection. In virtual commissioning, AI supports the creation and preparation of simulation models; recurring modelling steps can thus be accelerated.
Assistants can prepare information from plants or ERP systems. Review and approval remain with the project team, and decisions on changes to the control system or plant are made by the responsible experts.
AI in automation
Control knowledge becomes usable suggestions faster
Code, messages and plant documentation are brought together for programming, diagnostics and analysis.
Approach in the project
Ai1
Clarify the automation task
Code, messages and plant documents are reviewed with automation specialists.
Ai2
Configure Aurora
Adapters and data flow are set up in Aurora without programming.
Ai3
Set up the AI system
Assistant, knowledge sources, connections and approvals are configured.
Ai4
Check suggestions on the plant
Specialists check the AI support for programming or diagnostics before approval.
Supporting production planning as an assistant
Via an ERP connection, a language-based assistant compiles information and answers questions about planning.
Those responsible discuss possible adjustments on this basis and decide manually. The approach complements data analysis; the assistant does not change production orders itself.
Fields of application in automation
Programming
Control code is prepared and reviewed by the experts.
Model preparation
Simulation models for virtual commissioning are created with less routine work.
Image inspection and anomalies
Conspicuous images and trends are recognised and presented for assessment.
Funding
Clarify funding options before placing the order
Funding programmes may be available for consulting on and trialling your AI project.
IQstruct Engineering supports the survey, the project outline and the preparation of the application documents. Your company submits the application. Whether and to what extent funding is possible depends on the programme, the location and the project.
Frequently asked questions
We are glad to answer your detailed questions in a personal conversation.
Who approves safety-related functions?
AI supports analysis and programming. Review and approval of safety-related functions remain with the responsible experts.
How does AI help in virtual commissioning?
With the creation and preparation of simulation models. The project team reviews and approves the models.
Where do the plant data come from?
Aurora and custom interfaces acquire the data from controllers and machines.
What is IQstruct Engineering researching in this field?
In the joint project VIBNAssist, we investigate assistance with programming and with resource-efficient automation. People review the results.
Further industry solutions
Every industry has its particularities. That calls for a reliable partner who knows the requirements and delivers suitable solutions.
- PackagingA format change takes minutes, and the visual inspection runs along at machine cycle.
- Woodworking and furnitureWood is a grown material, and its fault images are hard to describe as a fixed rule.
- Electronics and semiconductorsA test bench measures in the microsecond range, and the piece count leaves no room for manual work.
