In Shanghai/Lingang, one of China’s leading science and technology regions, the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA has entered into a cooperation with Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), initially set to run for five years. The aim of the cooperation at the so-ca…

Cleanroom technology represents one of the world's fastest growing markets. Numerous industries now carry out production in cleanrooms or under controlled conditions, a development that is being driven by the miniaturisation of components, digitisation and the increasing mechanisation of products, a…

Apply now with your new development for the clean, pure, or ultra-pure manufacturing environment! Purity engineering production is considered a key technology that drives important innovations across industries. The production of microchips, flat screens, implants,
pharmaceutical active ingredients…

Energy optimisation in cleanrooms is a very demanding process, for it is essential that the energy-saving measures do not lead to a reduction in the precisely defined threshold values. Visitors will be able find examples of this at the cleanroom trade fair Cleanzone on Tuesday and Wednesday, 17 and…

The lectures of the 2nd Specialist Conference on the topic of "Film Contamination" come this year from well-known companies such as MAHLE, TE Connectivity, WITZENMANN, OLYMPUS, CARL ZEISS, PERO, and many more. The Fraunhofer IPA, Fraunhofer IPM, Fraunhofer IVV, and the University of Bayreuth also pr…

TE Connectivity - Volker Seipel, Manager Platform Element Engineering Core Technologies:

"Electrical stamp contacts become contaminated with oils and other fluids during the manufacturing process. The presentation describes the impact these contaminations can have and how TE provides process-safe pro…

Sharing Knowledge

The regulatory requirements in the manufacturing pharmaceutical industry apply across the entire value chain, for the benefit and protection of the patient. Knowing these requirements and implementing them in practice in compliance with regulations demands a lot from employees; this…

With the »Cellshare« developed by Fraunhofer IPA – the automated laboratory in the cloud – substance manufacturers and pharmaceutical-chemical companies can now perform cell-based tests automatically and centrally. The advantage is obvious: save costs and time, ensure the highest quality standards…

Regulations are indispensable in cleanliness technology. They specify which cleanliness standards, test methods or threshold values must be observed for particular industries. Fraunhofer IPA is on committees all over the world and helps to shape groundbreaking guidelines. At the Cleanzone and Lounge…

It is more complicated than many might think to clean components for industry. Expert knowledge is required in selecting the correct cleaning process, cleanliness analysis and packaging. Moreover, industry-specific regulations and the requisite infrastructure are additional factors involved. Fraunho…
