Reference projects

Factory environments are continuously changing and conventional planning procedures often lead to poor achievement of objectives. These challenges can be met by applying the methodology of Building Information Modeling in factory environments. As-built digitization provides the first step to create a BIM model in existing factory environments.

The aim of the AnomalieAI project is to develop an approach using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify anomalies in castings in order to save both costs and time.

The production of new carbon fibres is based on fossil raw materials and is very energy-intensive, making the recycling of the fibres all the more important. In the "Infinity" project, the fibre-friendly recycling process is demonstrated by means of a thermoplastic, structural component from the aviation sector, which can also be used to demonstrate material substitution.

Decision-making basis for the use of recycled carbon fibers: The central objective of the MAI ÖkoCaP project is to establish a reliable and transparent basis for decision-making that allows the benefits of using rCF in different industrial applications and products to be estimated.

The MonCoat project aims to develop an automatic online monitoring system for checking the mold coating condition, which minimizes the risk of deviations.

The project focuses on the ecologically sustainable design of structural construction methods and production technologies for future and existing helicopter structures.

NATUR addresses lightweight construction methods and technologies for CFRP fuselage structures that contribute to reducing the global warming potential (GWP) along the entire process chain through the consistent use of material residues, recycled carbon fibers (rCF) and out-of-autoclave (OoA) prepregs, as well as associated energy-reduced production processes and systems. The focus is therefore on optimizing component design and production planning for a sustainable material cycle, as well as energy- and emission-optimized production control. The weight reduction also makes a significant contribution to reducing the environmental impact during the aircraft's service life.

In the learning factory for networked production, digitalization in the production and assembly of customer-specific products is brought to life. In our one-day learning game, visitors can try out, test and compare technologies, systems and processes for themselves.

In the DiBattma-pro research project, an application-oriented, partially automated production line for polymer solid-state cells with a digital twin is being set up.

Less than 30% of new factory construction projects in Germany achieve their cost targets. At the same time, the BIM methodology in planning promises a cost reduction in 60% of planning projects. The »FaBIM« research project aims to develop a holistic approach for the planning, construction and operation of a common openBIM-based data environment (Common Data Environment).
