Today’s building and energy systems are still often held back by isolated data silos and proprietary solutions. As a result, cross-vendor optimizations often go untapped, and modern AI applications lack a common data foundation. This is precisely where the demonstrator comes in: At its core is an AI-powered copilot built on specialized agents that analyze real-time data, recognize patterns, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and comfort. Natural-language and immersive XR interfaces make complex data streams spatially tangible and interactively operable.
A particular focus is placed on data sovereignty and interoperability. Strict rights management and local data processing protect confidential information and are guided by the Gaia-X principles. On this basis, demonstrable access to networked data spaces is created for applications in building and energy systems.
The XR EXPO is the B2B platform for Extended Reality, bringing together research, technology, and industrial applications. It will take place in Stuttgart from April 28 to 29, 2026. Visit us in Hall 2, Booth 2PA04, and experience firsthand how XR and AI make complex digital infrastructures tangible.
About the “Connected Intelligent Infrastructures” Competence Center
Connected Intelligent Infrastructures (CII) conducts research on how artificial intelligence can be used to understand, plan, and intelligently control complex, interconnected infrastructures. The CII’s interdisciplinary strength stems from its natural growth: Building on the successful collaboration between the “Connected Intelligent Systems” (CIS) and “Smart Energy Systems” (SES) research groups in smart living, the SmartCity Living Lab (SCLL) and the research groups Future Applied Industrial AI (FAI2) and Interconnected Factory Architectures (IFA) have now also begun collaborating. This strong foundation enables them to address the complex interactions within modern infrastructures from multiple disciplinary perspectives in a comprehensive way.
