Bader explores AI solutions for leather production at new innovation campus
Automotive leather producer Bader is expanding its work on digitalisation and sustainability through a new collaboration at the Innovation and Future Campus HIVE e.V.
Together with its subsidiary Avema, a company that develops sustainable solutions by upcycling natural by-products and residual materials, Bader has established two branded containers at the site to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance leather manufacturing.
Bader said its work at HIVE will focus on improving production efficiency, increasing quality, and simplifying and accelerating processes. By integrating AI into existing workflows, the company aims to strengthen both performance and sustainability across its operations.
HIVE, which officially opened on September 22, aims to bring together businesses, start-ups, universities and the city to develop practical applications for AI.
Bader said the collaborative environment at HIVE offers an ideal setting to put new ideas into practice quickly and effectively alongside partners from industry and academia.
