Research results from the factory of the future
At the HANNOVER MESSE 2015 from April 13 to 17, at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft’s main booth (Hall 2, Booth C16), the Fraunhofer IWU will present the first results from the “E³-Forschungsfabrik Resource-efficient Production”. Visitors to the trade fair will experience how materials, energy and time can be saved in production through the use of extremely short process chains. There will also be a focus on the future of automotive manufacturing: an intelligent, self-learning software system supports the factory worker in the installation and adjustment of car body manufacturing facilities. Utilization of information in the production environment is a third key area: scientists will show how mobile it solutions can contribute to the optimization of production processes.
