Organisation profile

The members of the Institute for Production Technology and Systems (IPTS) carry out work on a wide range of engineering-related research questions.
When it comes to subjects, the members of the Institute concentrate on the topics of supply chain management and production management, as well as on measurement, control, plasma, production and material technology. Within these fields, we aim to answer current research questions through both experimental work and the use of digital modelling. Our overarching goal here is to provide better solution strategies for complex problems within the field of engineering.

Main research areas

The members of the department investigate this field from both a production management and a technical perspective.

Cooperations with companies and external research institutes play an important role in the IPTS work. We collaborate with our industry partners to create practically-oriented solutions to problems within industrial practice. This allows us to transfer our research findings directly into industrial companies, thus helping to improve our partners' competitiveness. A particular highlight of our work is the strong partnership which exists between the IPTS and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht Centre for Materials and Coastal Research, which is formally expressed in the form of two shared professorships at the IPTS.
