Smart Production

Process-related sensors and actuators and self-adapting components

A key trend in production technology is the development of hybrid processes and self-optimizing systems.

Status information should be obtained as close to the process as possible, and interventions should be made as close to the point of action as possible. Thanks to their ability to be structurally integrated, smart materials are particularly suitable for use in this area. Their material properties also make them ideal for self-adapting machine components that react autonomously and independently to changing conditions.
