Description of center’s mission and objectives

Historically grown production structures and manual planning processes cause inefficiencies in the operation and replanning of existing factories. We help you to identify and leverage potential in your production layout and intralogistics. We use modern approaches and tools to enable objective decision support. Additional tools such as material flow simulations, laser scans for digitizing existing buildings and machines, or digital planning tables/XR applications for intuitive planning are used as needed.

Description of center’s facilities and equipment

To illustrate our approach and the tools we use, we have a small factory demonstrator. This provides an example of how to use the tools and recognize their benefits.

We have access to various commercial and professional applications. These include hardware such as laser scanners or VR/AR glasses. We also use simulation-software such as Plant Simulation, Visual Components or visTABLE. Furthermore we are experts in developing holistic digital factory models in BIM-tools like Revit. In addition, we have developed our own supporting tools that enable the management of complex planning projects.
