Congratulations on your doctorate!

Our colleague @Benjamin Heinbach successfully completed his doctoral thesis on ‘Reinforcement Learning-based Planning of Factory Layouts’ in January. In his impressive presentation, he showed how artificial intelligence methods can not only support classic planning processes, but even replace them in some areas. He then faced critical questions from the doctoral committee – and mastered them with confidence.

We are delighted for him on the outstanding result of his doctoral thesis and congratulate him warmly on his doctorate! ?
His research shows once again that Achenbach is not only built on experience, but also on innovation and new technologies – and that is exactly what makes our work so exciting.

Mr Heinbach answered a few questions for us about his exciting research work, which you can find in the slides ↓
