Partnership: HPI and Rolls-Royce

Engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce signed a memorandum of understanding with HPI to conduct joint research in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), design thinking, e-learning and data security.

Their potential applications for research and development, production and service in the aviation industry will be investigated. In collaboration with R2 Data Labs, the Rolls-Royce support center for innovative data services, HPI will assist Rolls-Royce in developing new capabilities.

Among other things, state-of-the-art AI in the field of pattern recognition will be used to ensure even more precise, customized proactive maintenance, making customers' flight operations more efficient.

Together with HPI as a pioneer in design thinking, Rolls-Royce will develop ways to integrate this approach to creative solution finding into its training program and Digital Academy course offerings.

In addition, HPI will support the exchange of information in the field of e-learning. Engines supply large amounts of data during production and flight operations. For maximum data integration and security, data flows, organization and storage will also be part of the research collaboration.

In addition to the well-known luxury car segment, Rolls-Royce is a major producer of engines and components for civil and military aviation. The collaboration supports Rolls-Royce's IntelligentEngine vision, which sees products and services as inextricably linked factors.
