Research

The keystone of the institute is made up of the three main fields of research:

• Manufacturing and Materials Technology (FWT)
• Machines, Equipment and Process Automation (MAP)
• Production Systems (PRO)

containing knowledge and experience of selected production technology areas. New areas with a high innovation and beneficial potential are developed in the newly established research topics:

• Electric Mobility
• Additive Manufacturing
• Industry 4.0
• Sustainable Production

This enables us to explore topics as a whole and develop them in a target orientated way. 

The Matrix organization enables individual topics to benefit from a huge wealth of knowledge by integrating them in the current research areas and facilitates a quick and in-depth processing of future orientated cross-sectional areas.
