Topic
In the modern industrial landscape, products and processes are becoming increasingly complex. Almost every industrial plant/machine contains information technology components. This situation is reflected in the Federal Government's Industry 4.0 model, which emphasises the need for information technology to grow together with production research and product development.
An essential part of the work will be to bring together structural resources such as CAVE (design technology / CAD), multi-touch display wall and collaborative interaction lab (multimedia technology) and UPI lab (usability in the process industry, process control technology) for joint use. Tools and interfaces are to be analysed, standardised and, if necessary, implemented. On this basis, the application consortium will subsequently develop and present interdisciplinary interaction and simulation techniques.
As a result, a proven infrastructure and application-oriented use scenarios are available to represent interdisciplinary research expertise and to acquire research and industrial projects on this basis. The consortium aims to integrate further researchers and resources from the field, for example to apply the results in medical, energy or materials technology.
In the field of engineering sciences, the applicant researchers occupy a top position in their respective fields. This is evidenced by DFG and EU projects, applied research projects as well as publications and scientific and technical events.
