Competence area: Digital innovation

The overarching target of the competence field Digital Innovation is the brownfield-digitalisation, development and implementation of data infrastructure, data architectures & interfaces, furthermore it also features digital (ai-)assistance models, data management und data ecosystems for manufacturing businesses. The research conducted in the context of this field specifically targets small to medium sized businesses and is therefore driven by interdisciplinary exchange within research clusters. Within the competence field the entire emerging information and its flow inside a company, from the integrated sensors up to the data processing using ML-algorithms, is covered to fully exploit the optimisation potential of production processes from feedstock to finished products.

Alongside publicly sponsored projects, bilateral research endeavours with industry partners are also elaborated.
