Product development: decision-making and communication in view of conflicting quality criteria
Decisions are rarely made easily, especially when criteria are in conflict — the visualization of alternatives helps organize thoughts. A tool by Fraunhofer IGD is making it easier for engineers to find the optimal design of a commissioned product, and allows...
We accelerate factories through robotics
Are you an expert in ethical, IP/data protection or cybersecurity issues connected to robotics and automation? We are searching for experts in either ethical, IP/data protection or cybersecurity issues (ELS) in the field of robotic automation in manufacturing...
Emission reduction through electric variator for continuously variable transmissions
Within a company consortium, LCM and its partners are developing an electric variator for an emission-reduced continuously variable transmission (CVT). The aim of the project is the replacement of the current standard hydraulic variator unit with two electric machines...
Intelligent sensors for steel
A technology co-developed by LCM allows steel doors to be opened with a simple touch. A door opens automatically as you pass by – who doesn’t know that? After passing it several times, the repeated opening of the door can get on your nerves. There are...
Benchmarking Workshop on (active) vibration damping
Benchmarking workshops (also called mechathons when held in the area of mechatronics) can be used to benchmark existing technologies and bring together experts of the same field in order to encourage knowledge transfer and future cooperation. Within the frameworks of...
DIH² starts first open call
DIH² launches its first open call to encourage robotics-related technology adoption in the field of manufacturing. The European Commission project, part of the Horizon 2020 programme, will be distributing up to €248,000 to consortia made up of technology...
