The main focus of the research group is the research and development of digitalisation in manufacturing industry across the entire value chain. We research and develop topics ranging from industrial design to smart manufacturing and continuously mapping related value-adding technological opportunities. A sustainable, business-driven approach combined with technological know-how and development environments creates excellent conditions for business collaboration. Our activities are mainly applied research and development, but we are also active in scientific communities and networks across borders.
Our research areas
- Data and digital business
- Software production
- XR technologies in a cross-disciplinary way
- Digital manufacturing and simulation
- Machine vision and machine learning
- Robotics and industrial automation
- Industrial internet
- Artificial intelligence in industry
