BW Converting, Green Bay, announced that a digital innovation initiative centered around fault anomalies has been selected as one of the first projects for the new Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus.
The project submission was generated by the Accelerate digital services team in conjunction with Barry-Wehmiller’s Digital Innovation team.
Accelerate is BW Converting’s digital transformation platform designed to help customers go beyond just viewing machine data. Accelerate pairs real-time dashboards with the insight of specialized technicians, enabling users to understand the data and take action to reduce downtime, boost efficiency and enhance long-term performance.
“At BW Converting, it’s not just about seeing the numbers — it’s about understanding them,” said Amber Stollfus, Director, Digital Services and Solutions, BW Converting. “That’s the power of Accelerate.”
Originally launched in 2020, Accelerate continues to evolve.
TitletownTech is the operating partner of the Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab in Milwaukee, helping potential participants define, refine and quantify the value of their most promising AI-driven solutions. TitletownTech provided BW Converting with the support, infrastructure and connections necessary to submit the project to Microsoft for evaluation.
“TitletownTech has been instrumental in helping us manage communications with Microsoft and guiding us through essential processes. They’ve acted as the bridge between our team and the broader tech ecosystem,” said Stollfus.
The Co-Innovation Lab allows participants to work alongside Microsoft engineers in a rapid prototyping session to accelerate their time to market and learn about the latest technology available.
“We believe our enthusiasm and strong vision for what Accelerate can do played a major role in our selection for this engagement,” said Stollfus.
The partnership includes upcoming strategic meetings between BW Converting leadership and TitletownTech’s managing partners.
