The future of production technology
- Research
IKK | Huge quantities of textile waste are disposed of in landfill sites or incinerated. Only a small proportion of the discarded clothing is currently recycled – but this is set to change. The IKK is working together with large textile companies on recycling methods.
- Research
match | Making production more flexible: Through improved human-robot collaboration, intuitive programming and the use of Augmented Reality, the Institute of Assembly Technology and Robotics (match) enables small and medium-sized enterprises to easily access automation.
- Research
IFA | Economic evaluation of early-staged innovations proves to be quite challenging. The Institute of Production Systems and Logistics (IFA) is developing a valuation methodology focused on process innovations within the Collaborative Research Centre 1368 “Oxygen-Free Production.”

IMPT | Quantum technologies made in Lower Saxony – this is the mission of the research association Quantum Valley Lower Saxony (QVLS). In addition to research, the focus is also on further education, technology transfer and the establishment of networks.

ITA | LZH | How can optical data be transferred on 3D circuit carriers? The Institute of Transport and Automation Technology (ITA) and the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH) are researching the innovative Mosquito method for the production of three-dimensionally integrated optical waveguides.
- 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.
- 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.
