ETIM Presets
ETIM Feature Presets
Recurring filter patterns like "all switches 16 A, IP44" maintained centrally, applied by click — including surcharge effects and accessory injections.
The ETIM standard is one of the most valuable data assets of European industry. Yet in practice, most systems treat ETIM as a metadata appendix: a class code in the dataset, a filter in the web shop.
How do you make the full technical depth of the ETIM standard usable for AI systems — error-free, traceable, multilingual, without hallucination?
PhD natural scientist with extensive experience in computer science, statistical modeling, and international research cooperation. Responsible for overall project steering and bridging scientific methodology with industrial application.
Focus: service-oriented development methods, advanced analytics, management of digital transformation. Author of more than 75 scientific publications.
ProfileExpertise in applied machine learning and data analysis for complex technical domains.
ProfileFellow of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (top 3% of AI researchers in Europe). Focus: explainable AI, interpretable machine learning, hybrid AI methods.
ProfileAITIM project researcher at Prof. Overhage’s chair. Focus: applied AI in data-driven transformation and business process automation — leading requirements analysis and the interfaces of the AI module for automated quotation generation.
ProfileDeep and machine learning for real-world applications and products. Focus: self-supervised learning that leverages large volumes of unlabeled data, and pattern recognition in complex, multimodal datasets.
ProfileMachine learning for signal processing. Focus: deep neural networks with attention mechanisms and residual architectures for time-series and signal classification.
ProfileIn 2026, an independent startup emerged from the AITIM research project: Calcutron Digital Solutions GmbH. While Hermann Hundt Ing. GmbH as consortium leader carries scientific responsibility and contributes 40 years of plant engineering experience, Calcutron Digital Solutions GmbH handles commercial development, sales, and market growth of the software.
This structure secures the best of both worlds: research excellence through HHI-GmbH, Fraunhofer IIS, and the University of Bamberg — and startup speed through an independent software company that scales Calcutron as a modern SaaS product.
Four methods that we have scientifically validated and brought into production.
Live preview. Toggle features, drag sliders, and watch hits update across every connected ETIM-classified manufacturer catalog — in a single search.
Per ETIM class, store reusable configuration trees. The seller selects from whitelisted features and values — price surcharges and bill-of-materials injections are calculated automatically.
While other vendors formulate terms like "Autonomous Commerce" as slogans, AITIM has scientifically developed, documented, and peer-reviewed the methodological foundations — hallucination reduction, ETIM grounding, closed-loop pattern learning from manager telemetry. With research partners that rank among Europe’s leading AI institutions.
Hermann Hundt Ing. GmbH (founded 1897) has been building real switchgear, planning real hospitals, and dimensioning real data centers for decades. Customers: BMW, VW, Daimler, ABB, EATON, Hager, Osram, 25 sites of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. The technical knowledge in Calcutron comes from the workshop, not from textbooks.
HHI-GmbH is an active member of ETIM Deutschland e.V. The Calcutron Digital Solutions GmbH spin-off carries this anchoring in the standard directly into product development. We work with the standard — and contribute to it.

"Calcutron is the result of four decades of practice in engineering, three years of software development, and two years of research funding from the Free State of Bavaria. Today, the software is brought to the world by the spin-off Calcutron Digital Solutions GmbH. Feel free to reach out to me directly — whether as a potential partner or customer."
