As a tribute to the continuously increasing volume of data traffic, optical waveguides have become a serious alternative to electrical circuitries. The potential of precise space-resolved strain measurements or the capacity to transmit very large amounts of data are two examples of the beneficial us... Weiterlesen
The goal of the research project is to increase the degree of automation for the production of casing elements in aircraft cabins. This is achieved by integrating the power and data supply system on the casing elements. Apart from the connection of electronic components like lamps or display to the.... Weiterlesen
Power electronics is creating momentum in an increasing number of industries, from renewable energy to electrical mobility. The reliability of power electronic packages is the basis of successful products. To increase the lifetime of the assemblies and fully exploit the technological potential of to... Weiterlesen
The conventional manufacturing technology of printed circuit boards is based on the photolithographic creation of planar conducting paths on copper plated dielectric material. Circuit boards with more than two conductive layers are produced by the conglutination of several layers. The individual lay... Weiterlesen

In Germany live around 200,000 blind and more than 1 million visually impaired people. The possibility to practice sports is very limited for visually impaired or blind persons. Traditional devices as the white cane or a guide dog are as well as today’s existing technical systems, intended for navig... Weiterlesen
For almost two decades, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) have been the subject of intense research in material science. The potential capability of those actuators is emphasized by their common name “artificial muscles”. Biological archetypes, like skeletal muscles of mammals, are exceeded perta... Weiterlesen

The geometric anatomy of the human body is very complex due to its free-form surfaces, asymmetries and anisotropies. Haptic models displaying the properties of anatomic structures, e.g. geometry, inner organization or the mechanical behavior, are rarely available on the current market and often have... Weiterlesen
In industrial enterprises, owing to a lack of real-time data acquisition, manufacturing orders are generated based on an estimated future current state and thus lately deployed. They therefore do not regulate the current state of production and are therefore not suited to respond to short-term devia... Weiterlesen
With light signals in optical waveguides, large amounts of data can be transmitted quickly and largely without interference. In the industrial and infrastructural field, e.g. in the automotive and aerospace industries, demand is growing to further exploit this potential. How should production proces... Weiterlesen
The adidas Speedfactory is a multi-phase project, which should bring manufacturing capacities back to Germany. Phase 1 was completed in the SEP 2016 and included the production of 1000 pairs of performance sports shoes. Phase 2 started in the first quarter of 2017 and aims at a blueprint for a... Weiterlesen
Industry 4.0 requires a radical rethinking in manufacturing companies. Processes that have previously been designed separately
are interlinked, remodeled and optimally coordinated through digital technologies. How can this be achieved in practice? Weiterlesen
The project E|KoWiss is to provide an energy data management system which is capable of representing energy and resource consumption in the production in any granularity. In addition, the consumption data collected in the production process are to be enriched with semantic information in order to fa... Weiterlesen
The goal of this project is to develop a new kind of heating system that eliminates existing disadvantages. This includes the poor efficiency of gas and oil heaters, the high installation effort for connecting the central heating as well as low heat-transfer rates. Investigations point out that warm...
