- Research
IFW | Producing particularly light, stable and versatile components – that is the aim of a new collaborative research centre. The IFW is developing simulation methods to predict the properties of the hybrid, porous components and optimise production.
- Research
IFW | Networking production with data-driven solutions and thus promoting autonomy in manufacturing – that is the aim of the ‘Factory-X’ project. The IFW is focussing on order processing and energy and load management.
- Research
IFUM | In hot forging, processes are usually simulated using the finite element method (FEM). However, friction is not sufficiently taken into account. Researchers at IFUM want to adress this by developing an enhanced friction model.
- Here & now
match | Sustainable production is one of today’s key topics in the research, planning and implementation of production scenarios. Together with partners from research and industry, match is researching the digitalization of circular economy.
- Research
IMPT | The surface oxidation of tools and workpieces often leads to high wear in regular production processes. Scientists in the Collaborative Research Center 1368 are investigating what production without oxygen – and therefore without oxidation – could look like.
- Research
match | Technical progress is increasingly integrating robots into areas beyond factory floors and research laboratories. New areas of application require innovative solutions for safety, flexibility and adaptability. This is where soft continuum robots come into play.
- Research
IFA | Data Analytics enables highly individualized root cause analyses of poor logistics performance that go beyond general causal relationships. Deep.control unlocks the potential of hybrid production monitoring and control for small and medium-sized companies.

match | The SPP2100 student team won the Manipulation Challenge at the RoboSoft conference with a specially developed pneumatic gripper. The competition consisted of gripping various fruits without damaging them.

IFW | IPH | LZH | He supervised 257 scientific employees as a doctoral supervisor. He has left his mark on manufacturing technology and has been awarded numerous honorary doctorates and the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. Today Professor Hans Kurt Tönshoff celebrates his 90th birthday.
