Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFFTechnology partners for manufacturers, our researchers research and develop technologies, systems and products from the idea to the start of production – and implement them in practice collaboratively.
Priority is given to new methods and technologies of digital engineering and their extensive use in the development, production and operation of products and manufacturing systems. This is the basis for the institute’s development of innovative solutions in its fields of research: “smart work systems”, “resource efficient production and logistics” and “convergent supply infrastructures” In the process, the researchers rely on their expertise in robotic, measurement and testing, process engineering in manufacturing and logistics, technology-based assistance and qualification.
