Awarding innovative applications and technologies across all disciplines of surface technology: Fraunhofer IPA is awarding the Stuttgart Surface Technology Award "THE SURFACE" for the eighth time this year. The application phase begins on January 17, and the award ceremony will take place on June 21…
As part of the “MobDi – Mobile Disinfection” project, twelve Fraunhofer institutes were tasked with developing new key technologies for mobile cleaning and disinfection processes. The latest result of this research project is the disinfection robot “DeKonBot 2” from Fraunhofer IPA. In November 2021…
The tedious search for leaks in compressed air systems could soon become much easier: Fraunhofer IPA is developing, together with SICK AG, an additional leak detection service for an intelligent flow sensor. Self-learning algorithms analyze the measurement data and thus identify leak points.
The ISO…
At the Center for Digitized Battery Cell Production at Fraunhofer IPA, process technology for the batteries of the future is being developed together with medium-sized companies Dr. Fritsch Sondermaschinen GmbH and Dr. Fritsch GmbH & Co KG. The state of Baden-Württemberg is funding the research…
Funding and Innovations on the one hand and regulatory initiatives on the other: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently experiencing a lot of attention in research and politics. The current status will be presented by high-profile guests at the virtual AI Congress "Smart Machines in Action." On D…
There is no need to buy a machine to be able to use it: Digitalization enables new business models based on the automated exchange of data. Experts from science and industry clarify the conditions that must be met for these business models to be economically and technically feasible in the large res…
The core component of every electric car is the battery. It should be compact and as powerful as possible – and above all, safe. This places high demands on manufacturing. Researchers from the Fraunhofer IPA at the Center for Digitalized Battery Cell Production (ZDB) demonstrate what this could look…
Scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation IPA are digitizing the value stream analysis together with the Stuttgart-based software provider iFAKT. This aims to make this proven optimization method feasible in the future with significantly less effort and almost…
Batteries with as much energy as possible are especially in demand for electric vehicles. The Fraunhofer IPA is working on solid-state batteries that are supposed to have an energy density of almost twice that of today's lithium-ion batteries, with 700 watt-hours per kilogram. Digital twins are inte…
How can medical staff in hospitals be relieved through digitalization while simultaneously placing the patient more firmly at the center of processes? Researchers at the Fraunhofer IPA are investigating how routine tasks in everyday clinical practice can be digitized and automated. In cooperation wi…
