Services

You are a representative of an industrial company, corporate group, ar a small or medium-sized enterprise and want to deepen your knowledge about production processes, uncover your company's potential, or make processes more efficient?

We have accumulated knowledge over the long term from numerous cooperation projects with industrial partners. We face your challenges and solve them through our research into the production of the future.

Manufacturing and Materials Technology (FWT)	Machines, Equipment and Process Automation (MAP)	Production Systems (PRO)
Development and optimization of manufacturing processes and process chains under consideration of manufacturing-related component properties. Investigation of classical, innovative and additive machining processes for functionally optimized and highly stressed components.	Development of innovative production processes and machines from components to agile production systems. Hereby we enable, among others, solutions for gripping technologies and robotic, additive manufacturing, condition monitoring as well as the manufacturing of electric drives, batteries and fuel cells.	Planning, evaluating and controlling the effects of tomorrow's production - from the global, shock-robust network to the breathing factory with highly productive production facilities and innovative business models to quality assurance of immature processes – are the goals of the field Production System.
