Selected Research Topics

 

EPIC

The EPIC project focuses on the intensive integration of information and communication technologies with production in the context of Industry 4.0. The central objective is to create a competence center that is internationally recognized as a leading research institution in the fields of production informatics, management and control. The center strives for excellence in research, development and innovation.

 

PACT

The benchmarking project "Measuring Sustainability" as part of the Fraunhofer PACT USA program supports companies in boosting their competitiveness through sustainable transformation. Participants explore best practices, compare their sustainability performance with "top performers" and establish their individual position in the consortium.

 

Fraunhofer FFB

The Fraunhofer FFB concept provides for a combination of laboratory and production research for different battery cell formats - round cells, prismatic cells and pouch cells. Fraunhofer FFB employees research individual process steps or the entire production chain as required.

 

H2Go

The project develops cost-efficient production processes for fuel cells, in particular for bipolar plates (BPP) and membrane electrode assemblies (MEA). The aim is to increase production efficiency and reduce costs through innovation, digitalization and automation in order to enable the mass production of hydrogen-powered drives.
