In the winter semester 2024/2025, four students are working on a practical IoT (Internet of Things) implementation in the cloud under the guidance of Danny Claus and Prof. Gerd Beneken. The aim is to identify specific efficiency potential of GenAI (Generative AI) in the software development process.
University cooperation as a trailblazer for innovation
Working closely with universities is a matter close to doubleSlash's heart. "We value the opportunity to work with young talents from academia to develop innovative solutions together. The exchange between theory and practice drives us to be even more progressive and to gain valuable impetus for software development," explains Danny Claus, who is in charge of the project at doubleSlash.
Prof. Gerd Beneken from the TH Rosenheim also emphasizes the importance of such projects:
"The combination of practical relevance and scientific research provides our students with an exceptional learning experience. Thanks to doubleSlash's support, we can investigate technological trends such as Generative AI in depth and make an important contribution to the further development of software development."
Generative AI as a driver for modern software development
Generative AI has the potential to fundamentally change software development—from requirements analysis to architecture and documentation. doubleSlash is specifically developing its own solutions to make the software development process more efficient and innovative with the help of Generative AI. In the semester project, the students used these for the development of IoT device management software and evaluated how this use affects the speed of implementation in the project. The implementation took place in a cloud environment with Microsoft Azure to ensure that the software is scalable and flexible.
doubleSlash not only provided the students with cloud infrastructures and AI tools, but also offered comprehensive support from experienced experts in the fields of IoT, cloud and AI. Students also have the opportunity to work regularly at the doubleSlash offices in Munich and benefit from direct exchange.
A valuable gain in knowledge for both sides
"The findings from this project are of great value to us," summarizes Danny Claus. "We really enjoyed working with the TH Rosenheim and the dedicated students. Projects like this show how much science and business can benefit from each other, and we look forward to continuing to work together on innovative topics in the future," says Claus.
