The second edition of Digital Artificial Intelligence (DAI2), organized by the Campus des Métiers et des Qualifications CaMéX-IA Grand Est, was held on Tuesday, May 16, at its Totemvenue, the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Metz. The CMQE brought together its 35 members, offering a friendly program that included a ceremony to present the projects carried out as part of the Challenges 4.0.
Get to know CaMéX-IA better by working together
CaMéX-IA is one of nine Campus des Métiers et des Qualifications (CMQE) centers in the Grand Est region to have been awarded the "Excellence" label. Supported by the Campus Arts et Métiers Metz, the CMQE aims to bring together companies, high schools, IUTs, engineering schools, and universities in order to develop skills in the use of artificial intelligence and digitalization in several sectors: industry, building, and construction. Each year, CaMéX-IA works from the start of the academic year on a project that brings its members together for a day, and therefore offers an annual event, Digital Artificial Intelligence ( DAI).
This year, the theme of the event was discovering the wealth of activities offered by CaMéX-IA. 110 people from 23 different partner organizations attended, including Eurométropole de Metz, ArcelorMittal Maizières Research, COLAS, and many others.
For Denis Matheis, Chief Operating Officer of CaMéX-IA and lecturer at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Metz,
This day is an opportunity for everyone involved in CaMéX-IA (high school students, university students, teachers, industry representatives, partners, researchers, funders, managers) to meet, get to know each other better, and understand the diversity and richness of the activities carried out on campus.
The partners present were then able to take part in a fun educational activity based on the escape game model. The goal? To counter ChatGPT artificial intelligence using information gathered on CaMéX-AI and its actions, and then join the digital master team created by Marco Landi, former Director of Apple Worldwide.
According to Manon Laurent, communications manager at CaMéX-IA and communications officer at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Metz,
CaMéX-IA aims to be an attractive and modern CMQE. The choice of an escape game to present CaMéX-IA's activities was therefore obvious, as it is a format that allows information to be conveyed in a fun and entertaining way. By using the game, we hope to encourage the memorization of information and create more connections with network members, who will have to collaborate to solve the puzzles.
Each puzzle was linked to a service offered by CaMéX-IA and revealed specific, up-to-date information about the CMQE. The activity ended with a questionnaire based on the answers collected during the puzzles. The three participants at the top of the podium were awarded a "digital master" diploma and a prize bearing the CMQE logo. The 16 other winning participants were also rewarded with a prize bearing the network's colors.
As for Antonin, a student at Lycée Hanzelet in Pont-à-Mousson,
During this escape game, we were able to collaborate with a variety of people: engineers, teachers, students, etc. Everyone was able to contribute their skills. The puzzles weren't very complicated, which allowed us to focus on the key messages of each service offered by CaMéX-IA. The format was great, and I'd like to do this more often!
Immerse yourself in new technologies using the devices offered by CaMéX-IA.
The day also provided an opportunity to discover projects carried out by students from member organizations of the network, and to raise awareness among students from partner high schools about one of the seven training courses offered by CaMéX-IA. Members in attendance were able to test their English skills in virtual reality with the VR English project, presented by students from the Metz campus. A presentation of the JENII (Digital, Immersive, and Interactive Teaching Twin) Arts et Métiers by Arts et Métiers . In addition to hosting a booth during the escape game, a space dedicated to coaching course led by Talent Reveal, a partner of CaMéX-IA, was available. Finally, students from the UFR MIM presented their project, enabling a virtual tour of their institution.
The Challenges 4.0 award ceremony: four winning teams
The second part of the day was devoted to the presentation of the Challenges 4.0. Challenges 4.0 are one of the seven courses offered by CaMéX-IA. They consist of use cases proposed by companies and/or higher education institutions that are partners of the CMQE. High school students, university students, companies, and teacher members work together on these projects during the school year. These challenges enable students to carry out real-world engineering projects by conducting studies, carrying out projects, manufacturing products, and performing analyses.
Held annually, the DAI2 event was an opportunity to present to a wide audience, partly made up of engineering students who could join Arts et Métiers, how to solve a problem they might face.
Seventeen challenges were presented, with four teams receiving awards bearing the CaMéX-IA logo:
The Culasse project, which aims to recreate the cylinder head of the legendary Delage V12, an iconic sports car from the French brand that disappeared in 1937. It aims to design, dimension, and manufacture this key component, respecting the original specifications as much as possible to preserve its historical heritage. This project brings together students from the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Metz.
The SondeH20 project, which brings together COLAS, INSA Strasbourg, and Lycée Couffignal. It is dedicated to developing a probe for accurately measuring water content. Its goal is to develop a reliable and effective tool that facilitates accurate moisture assessment in various environments.
The MoPoVi project, which focuses on improving the monitoring of machining processes using a Smart Manufacturing approach. It aims to detect machining defects early on, such as tool wear, tool breakage, and vibrations between parts and tools. This project brings together students from Arts et Métiers Châlons-en-Champagne.
The AugmentedProd project, which brings together CETIM Grand Est, Lycée Hanzelet, and the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Metz. This project explores the deployment of augmented reality in the workshop to visualize production line parameters in real time using devices such as smartphones or augmented reality glasses.
Congratulations to the winners of the escape gameand well doneto all the groups who presented their projects at the Challenges 4.0 awards ceremony!
