Approaches for the intelligent factory of the future are developed at CIIT. At this weekend the research institutes Fraunhofer-Application Center IOSB-INA and Institute Industrial IT (inIT) of the OWL University will present highlights from their research laboratories to a general public. The model plant of the SmartFactoryOWL shows a versatile assembly system that fulfills customers’ demands and individually mounts products. The assembly system operates resource efficiently and is intuitive to use for the human. At BMBF researchers from Lemgo present ideas for the factory of the future - visitors are welcome to try out these approaches.
Therewith approaches from CIIT are demanded in Berlin and represent the technology region OWL already for the second time this year. At this year’s Hanover Fair the researchers from Lemgo presented latest research findings and the assembly system of the SmartFactoryOWL at the booth of BMBF. Even Federal Research Minister Johanna Wanka convinced herself of the intelligent technical solutions. Virtual Post-its (the successor of the virtual data glasses) or Plug-and-Produce Technologies, researchers from Lemgo presented intelligent approaches in the field of automation technology. Wanka was impressed with the ideas and praised the CIIT as a part of the BMBF-leading edge cluster “it’s OWL” for its successful cooperation of industry and science under one roof.
The assembly system of Fraunhofer IOSB-INA and OWL University is supported by solutions and components of the industry partners of CIIT like Phoenix Contact, Weidmüller, OWITA, ISI Automation, MSF-Vathauer, Bosch Rexroth and Aventics.
