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.

Topics

Die Forschungsschwerpunkte des IPTS liegen im Bereich neuer Produktionstechnologien und Produktionssysteme. Dazu gehören nicht nur neue Technologien für Produktinnovationen, sondern auch die Entwicklung von Prozessen, Systemen, Komponenten, Ausrüstungen und Dienstleistungen. 

Forschungsziele sind unter anderem die Optimierung der wertschöpfenden Prozessschritte und Minderung indirekter Arbeitsschritte wie Transport, Handhabungsschritte, Nacharbeit und Qualitätsüberprüfung. 

Ein wichtiger Aspekt ist dabei immer der schonende Umgang mit den weltweit knapper werdenden Ressourcen. Innovative, effizient gestaltete Produktions- und Servicesysteme bilden einen weiteren Forschungschwerpunkt. Von besonderer Relevanz für die Forschung in der Produktion ist die ganzheitliche Bewertung von Lebenszykluskosten bei der Produktionsplanung.
