The Digital Experience Lab of Lufthansa Industry Solutions  in Norderstedt (near Hamburg) and partly also in Raunheim (near Frankfurt) is the place to develop, try out and test new products and online services to drive the digitalization of companies and provides a large variety of capabilities around digital technologies and room for experimentation to generate future value.

Lab Capabilities

Technologies

    Artificial Intelligence

    Wide-ranging portfolio of re-usable use cases with AI technologies incl. computer vision, audio analytics and natural language processing; many of them are made available “as a Service” for being used with minimal up-front invest in labs

    Data Analytics

    Data analytics methods & tools to glean insights from large volumes of data, support to combine domain knowledge with an analytical approach specifically tailored to each data set; analytics is supported with ready-to-use infrastructure and lab staff

    Mobile App Development

    Development of mobile applications for all established platforms

    Internet of Things Sensors, Localization & Platforms

    Full-range of IoT hard- and software technologies.  Connect all participants in the value-creation process with one another, equipment with sensors of all types, utilize information about location / condition / usage to generate visibility, insights and automate and streamline processes

    Robot Process Automation

    Implementation of RPA with leading software technology platforms. RPA is mostly based on the use of programmable software robots, so-called "bots“. Support for process design and overall automation needs & benefits by lab staff

    Quantum Computing

    Research with focus on developing and applying business cases, e. g. together with Quantum Technology & Application Consortium (QUTAC). Lab experts can deliver insights, assessments and prototype implementations (QCs and simulations) 

      Security

      The Lab’s expertise is in the field of information security, and it offers IT security services – from analysis of security requirements to security concept development; the lab can carry out automated Pentests and advice on security measures

      No/low Code Development

      Consulting, support and training for leading no/low code platforms for technically skilled business experts -- so-called “citizen developer” -- who create software-based applications for their respective business departments

      Greening of IT

      Cost and resource optimized software development of cloud applications, to support a pro-active approach to sustainability from an IT-perspective; lab staff educates, teaches and assesses resource consumption of IT systems
