Our research project with the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation

You have probably heard many times that the digitally connected systems and production processes known as Industry 4.0 in Germany hold a lot of potential for new business models and are changing the world of work. A few examples will make these possibilities a little more comprehensible. In mechanical engineering, for example, visual assistance and inspection systems provide valuable support, as do virtual models for calculating and optimizing production parameters on the shop floor. As a result, you can minimize errors and work in a time- and cost-efficient manner. There is also potential for optimization in logistics and order picking. Industry 4.0 solutions for documentation, position planning, and final inspection, as well as automatic and contactless identification and localization, can help you increase efficiency in your company.

The goal of the Digital Construction Site research project is to reduce unproductive activities and downtime on construction sites. The first step is to create a digital twin of all the components involved in a construction site and to connect different systems. This is based on technology platforms such as Microsoft Project Server, whose development we are continuously driving forward. The result is a consistent and seamless connection of all relevant work processes, from design to project management to final costing.

Through our commitment to practical research, we identify trends early and actively drive developments forward. Our findings contribute to sustainable and efficient process optimization, enhancing your efficiency and maximizing resource utilization.
