"Energizing a Sustainable Industry" is the motto of this year's Hannover Messe. The topics of energy and sustainability are also a comprehensive research focus of the Fraunhofer IPA. Insights into ongoing and completed research projects are presented by the institute from April 22 to 26, 2024, at tw…
The demand for automation in laboratories is steadily increasing. However, the requirements for robot-assisted applications in this context are high. How they can still be implemented in a technically and economically sensible way is demonstrated by Fraunhofer IPA using a prototype in cooperation wi…
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in private and professional environments is continuously increasing. At the same time, regulations are being discussed at the European level through AI certification and safeguarding measures. The Fraunhofer Institutes IAO and IPA have therefore analyzed the c…
The fully automated measurement of biophysical properties of hundreds of cell samples in just a few days is the goal of the cooperation project "AutoRAPID," in which scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen and the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Techno…
The United Robotics Group (URG) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation IPA have signed a licensing agreement as part of their newly established technological partnership. The agreement covers the distribution and further development of the laboratory robot KEVIN®, whic…
The demand for increased automation in intralogistic processes is high. When and how exactly driverless transport vehicles or autonomous mobile robots are suitable for specific tasks in this environment can now be systematically determined by companies using the Automation Potential Analysis (APA) f…
Using the TissueGrinder developed at Fraunhofer IPA – an automated miniature mill for delicate tissue samples – clinics in the future will be able to quickly and accurately analyze cancer patient cell samples even without the help of an experienced pathologist. Patients will benefit most of all. Whe…
Ensuring more climate protection in sheet metal manufacturing through the research project de:karb, led by Trumpf, Thyssenkrupp Materials Services, and the Fraunhofer IPA. The goal of the collaboration is an open platform that allows users to accurately determine the CO2 consumption of their compone…
Hydrogen produced with regenerative energy is an important energy carrier for the mobility of the future. The demand for fuel cell stacks, which convert hydrogen into electrical energy, will therefore increase rapidly in the coming years. Researchers at Fraunhofer IPA and the Schwarzwald Campus are…
Providing companies with a clear competitive advantage and preparing them for the challenges surrounding the production of the future: With this promise of performance, Fraunhofer IPA will present itself from June 27 to 30, 2023, at the automatica trade fair. Visitors will experience applications re…
