Projects and products

Our research and development work happens within the framework of projects - these include equally R&D contracts with industrial customers, publicly funded (collaborative) research projects, and pre-competitive research projects funded by Fraunhofer. You can browse through many of these projects below - as well as products, i.e. results of our R&D activities that have reached a high level of technological maturity.

Please note:

  • The most recently updated projects and products are displayed first.
  • You can filter the list by department or business unit assignment as well as by free-text search terms - but for the latter, the spelling must be exact.

  • RoboShield - Research for safe and secure production facilities

    RoboShield deals with automation technologies in human-robot collaboration. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are used to verify safety. New development processes for modules, systems and applications are being researched that ensure the safety of the resulting production facility ("Safety by Design"). A method kit with different verification techniques will enable the verification of third-party automation components.

  • dynOpt-En - Energy manager for the supply- and demand-oriented connection of energy sources

    The dynOpt energy manager is primarily intended for commercial properties such as apartment buildings and neighbourhoods where several components such as heat pumps, PV systems, solar heating systems, gas boilers or CHP units are operated in a coupled manner. Furthermore, dynOpt-En monitors energy consumption and costs and compares the real values with the expected values. In this way, malfunctions can be detected promptly and signalled via a clear visualisation or reported to the operator.
