Project description

Within the scope of the cooperation project with Siemens Healthineers, integrated automation concepts and flexible production structures are being developed for the production of X-ray emitters and generators for medical imaging.

When planning new production plants, the required targets regarding the efficiency of the processes and the quality of the products must be taken into account. Future-oriented production and logistics systems are characterized by modularity, flexibility and adaptability. In addition, economic aspects have to be considered while planning new production plants and developing optimized production structures and processes. A holistic automation concept is developed including the coordination of all relevant subsystems such as the equipment, means of transport and IT systems. The concept is characterized by a flexible, material flow optimized production structure, networked manufacturing stations and automated material and information transport. During concept development, methods are developed for the identification, evaluation and implementation of automation projects, planning of the production organization and control of the intralogistic material and information transport.
