Transfer

At CORBA, we believe that academic research should make a difference beyond publications. In close collaboration with partners from business, government, and society, we apply cutting-edge Operations Research and Business Analytics methods to support data-driven decision-making. Our goal is to create sustainable value by linking economic success with social and environmental awareness.

AI-based Optimizing of End-of-Life Solar Panel Recycling

Together with Solar Materials GmbH, we develop an end-to-end machine learning model to optimize recycling processes, maximize yield, and reduce waste within a circular economy framework.

AI-based Systems for Risk Management

In collaboration with Thyssenkrupp-Nucera, we evaluate AI-based approaches that support risk managers in assessing corporate resilience. Our goal is to identify information that signals shifts in risk trajectories and enables more informed decisions.

Contextual Optimization of ATM Inventory

A collaboration with Siemens AG, we develop predictive and prescriptive methods to optimize ATM inventories and replenishment routes. By combining machine learning with optimization, we aim to improve decision quality beyond pure demand forecasting.

Cooperation in Home Healthcare Routing

In collaboration with AOK Sachsen-Anhalt, we develop data-driven planning solutions that improve home healthcare nurses' working conditions by integrating their preferences into planning and reducing unnecessary travel. We also investigate how collaboration between care providers can further enhance efficiency and care quality.

Optimizing Aerospace Production Planning

This external PhD project, conducted in collaboration with Rolls-Royce Deutschland, focuses on optimizing complex production processes in the aerospace industry.

Railway Operations Planning

Together with partners like Deutsche Bahn and ÖBB, we develop AI-based optimization methods for energy-efficient and robust railway planning. Our solutions adapt to disruptions and make operations more sustainable, reliable, and transparent.

Smart Finance and IIoT

In collaboration with Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, we explored the potential of IloT-driven digital financing, providing insights for banks to strategically navigate the evolving digital market.
