MoSeS-Pro – Modular sensor systems for real-time process control and smart status assessment Today, the Industry 4.0 project of the future offers the opportunity to take the flexibility, energy and resource efficiency of production processes to a new level through intelligent control and networking. Electronics and sensors, which are among the strengths of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Germany.
Power4Production (P4P) – Industry 4.0 As part of the Saarland Industrieland industrial policy lead process under the central theme ‘How we can win the future with industry’ of the state government, various fields of action were decided. These include, among other things, the digitization of production, energy, securing skilled workers, industry and promotion as well as infrastructure and settlement policy. A contribution to this strategy and to securing the location of production in the Saarland...
Effective and safe human-robot collaboration (4by3) In the current EU research project 4by3, various scenarios for human-robot cooperation are currently being implemented. ZeMA's work packages include, on the one hand, the development of a human-robot-capable system and, on the other hand, the implementation of two application scenarios. Human-robot cooperation systems are partly already used in production and represent an approach to demand-oriented and, if necessary, temporary automation through human-robot cooperation.
NeWiP – New avenues of information-led productionProblemsProducing companies have to face and overcome many challenges in order to compete internationally, including product individualisation and shorter product lifecycles. In order to master these, up-to-date and highly detailed knowledge of the state of production is necessary. An efficient mastery of the processes is...
Production at the high-wage location in Germany – to the same extent as in Saarland – is only competitive in an international comparison if innovative products are manufactured from an economic point of view in such a way that non-value-added costs are significantly saved or even completely avoided. Since this is not always the case, for example...
Laser material processingProblemsNewest laser sources open up a high potential for optimization. Current industrial process monitoring systems reach their limits due to superimposed influences. As a result, a sufficient seam quality cannot be guaranteed.Target settingAn online monitoring controls the relevant parameters of the process. When the process signals are assigned, a control is developed to ensure a constant seam quality. After a...
