The article presents a case of collaboration between NCC SLING and the Slovenian IT company Comtrade 360 d.o.o. in the development of an AI-enhanced production screening solution for predicting cryocooler lifetime. By combining high-performance computing (HPC), self-supervised Transformer models, and large-scale AI experiments, the team developed a reliable data-driven approach for early lifetime prediction based on telemetry data. The solution enables faster model development, reduces the need for expensive destructive testing, and improves quality assessment throughout the production process.
More examples of successful collaborations between National Competence Centres (NCCs) and Centres of Excellence (CoEs) with companies are presented in the online publication “Success Stories 2025”.
