Projects at a glance – Research and Development for Industry

"CLOUD56" opens a new chapter in mobile infrastructure. The aim is to virtualize the RAN and industrial application hardware. This enables faster deployment of new network areas, simplified management and flexible scalability of production processes. The focus is on concrete use cases of different industries such as manufacturing, healthcare and construction:

Unleash economic success, resource and energy independence, and the compliance with sustainability requirements which ensure competitiveness: We will support you in effectively and efficiently managing the sustainable transformation of your value creation and product portfolio.

As part of 5G-Sierra, the Fraunhofer IPT is developing secure 5G use cases for networked, adaptive production.

"AGILEHAND" aims to develop advanced technologies for sorting, handling and packaging autonomous soft and deformable products as a strategic tool to improve the flexibility, agility and reconfigurability of the production and logistics systems of European manufacturing companies.

TARGET-X ist eines von vier europäischen Testbedprojekten im Rahmen des gemeinsamen Unternehmens für intelligente Netze und Dienste (SNS JU) und zielt darauf ab, die Führungsrolle der Industrie in Europa in 5G und 6G zu sichern.

The research project "TraWeBa" - Transformation HUB Value Chain Battery, aims to establish a Germany-wide hub consisting of a transnational consortium of institutions from the automotive industry and research facilities. Together, the object of battery developments in Germany is to be identified and, based on this, a systematic, demand-oriented and sustainable concept of knowledge and technology transfer via the battery value chain is to be developed.

The aim of the research project "hyPro – Integration of hybrid intelligence in the process control of glass forming production plants" is to optimize the process of non-isothermal hot forming by capturing and processing all important influencing parameters using a newly developed modeling software. The software is based on data-driven machine learning (ML) models as well as process models based on expert knowledge.

The SpaceX SPX27 space transporter will fly to the International Space Station (ISS) on March 15, 2023. Among others, the transporter will carry an experimental setup that the student small satellite group KSat e.V. of the University of Stuttgart will use to conduct three experiments on ferrofluids. The structural components for the setup were additively manufactured at the Fraunhofer IPT.

The aim of the research project "EffF3D – Efficient Functionalization of 3D-Shaped Thin Glass" is to develop an energy- and resource-saving process chain for the mass production of complex shaped and functionalized thin glass. Compared to established processes, the new process chain reduces energy consumption by 67 percent and CO2 emissions by 63 percent. In addition, environmentally harmful chemicals no longer need to be used at all.

The objective of this research project is to enhance the predictive accuracy of cutting forces in multi-axis milling processes through a coupled simulation of geometric intersection calculation and Finite Element Method. By combining these two simulation methods, the respective advantages can be utilized and the specific disadvantages can be overcome, enabling a more precise digital process design
