The kick-off event at the IFS research center, which specializes in the development of hydrogen drives among other things, offered participants from industry and research an exclusive tour of the institute's modern research areas. Among those present were representatives and researchers from renowned companies such as Kolbenschmidt, Bosch and Rolls Royce. A key element of the kick-off meeting was the official introduction of the project partners and the definition of initial milestones. The industrial partners not only contributed their technical expertise, but also financial resources to actively support the project. The participation of the project support committee emphasized the high level of interest in the project.
About the "Predictive Powertrain Health Care" project
The "Predictive Powertrain Health Care" research project not only aims to detect anomalies in the aforementioned systems at an early stage, but also to develop general procedures for handling data and algorithms. These should then be transferable to other, similar problems in industry. The Research Group for Mathematics and Data Science at the Institute for Industrial Information Technology (inIT) is actively involved in the project under the leadership of Prof. Markus Lange-Hegermann.
The research project is also supported by the FVV innovation and transfer network, which ensures a close connection between research and industry.
Overall, the research project not only promises groundbreaking progress in the early detection of damage in fuel cell systems and electric motors, but also emphasizes the important cooperation between industry and research and the prospect of cross-industry applicability.
