Spin-Offs and Tools

Over the past years, employees and professors have developed useful tools and methods that are based on their scientific work at paluno. Some have founded successful spin-offs.

CampusLab

Personal and organisational development from a single source: CampusLab qualifies your personnel in a targeted and sustainable manner and support you in the further development of your IT and software processes.

Das CampusLab ist ein von paluno entwickeltes Programm zur berufsbegleitenden Weiterqualifikation von Mitarbeitern in aktuellen praktischen IT-Themen. Ziel des CampusLab ist der systematische Wissenstransfer durch ein angepasstes kundenspezifisches Kursprogramm, das gezielt auf Rollen und Phasen im Softwareprozess zugeschnitten ist. Das CampusLab sorgt dafür, dass Ihre Mitarbeiter in einem sich stetig ändernden Umfeld über aktuelles Technologiewissen verfügen (Transformation) und aktuelle Trends und Entwicklungen bewerten können (Innovation). Das Kursprogramm ist eine Mischung aus etablierten akademischen Modulen und speziell für die Praxis angepassten Modulen in Form von Vorlesungen, Übungen und Praktika.

 

GenerIO

GenerIO is designed to give artists a new, efficient tool to create and edit digital textures. Textures give virtual objects a lively and realistic appearance.  They are used in video games, films, virtual reality and print media.

Through generative artificial intelligence (AI), GenerIO makes it possible to create individual textures very easily and intuitively. The user group is large: media creators, game developers and designers, but also architects who need textures for 3D models can use the software. The start-up was founded out of paluno’s human-computer interaction group.

LocosLab

LocosLab is a young and dynamic company in the field of information technology specialized on location-based services. Established in 2012, LocosLab develops cost-effective localization systems based on current and standardized hardware. The core technologies include:

  • Indoor and outdoor localization systems
  • Geo marketing
  • Personalized mobility (e.g. aviation and aerospace)

Many years of research in the field of radio-based localization of objects and persons form an excellent basis for the continuous further development of LocosLab. The company attaches importance to:

  • the extension of visual and and interactive evaluation software
  • the optimization and improvement of the company’s models and algorithms
  • the discovering of new possibilities for future hardware platforms

ModLab

ModLab is a laboratory for moderation techniques. It consists of state-of-the-art components, such as a five-metre-wide interactive screen that supports joint mind mapping or modelling, for example.

The laboratory serves to explore which methods and forms of technical support are suitable for moderating communicative decision-making processes on factual and technical issues in groups. For this purpose, interaction with the technical systems is recorded.

Occasionally, the moderation technologies of the laboratory are used by public institutions and companies.

SeeMee

The modeling method SeeMe support the representation of socio-technical and semi-structured aspects of communication and cooperation processes. With SeeMee such processes can be analyzed and improved, e.g. in workshops. SeeMee can also be used to save time and money on documentation tasks. The modeling method can be learned very quickly. A freely accessible editor was developed to create and present SeeMe models.

More information about the SeeMe and the current release version is available on the website https://seeme.iaw.ruhr-uni-bochum.de

 

TamedAI - Tamed Artificial Intelligence for Enterprises

TamedAI GmbH was founded to develop productive and economically worthwhile AI components for business customers.

The use of preconfigured models allows to reduce the effort for the implementation of AI solutions to a minimum. Only the specific requirements of the customers have to be elevated and integrated individually. The essential tool for this is the TamedAI platform: customers can manage their AI models on it. The platform automates various activities that would otherwise have to be performed manually and thus be time-consuming. For example, the platform continuously trains alternative models in the background and informs the customer if another model has achieved better results. Over the course of the next few years, the platform will be successively expanded with interesting features to enable the efficient use and management of AI models.
