Vision of the research group

Research for the integration of innovative technologies to realize value-added potential in production.

Research topics

The MiP | Management of Industrial Production research group is particularly concerned with the strategic integration of innovative technologies in production, looking at planning, production and service processes. The focus is on research and industrial projects in the following fields:

• Human-centered assistance systems in cyber-physical production environments
• Data-driven process optimization and business model innovation
• Traceability to support digital twins

Furthermore, important cross-sectional topics such as circular economy and artificial intelligence are integrated across the focus and research groups within the research activities.

About us

The MiP team consists of more than ten research associates whose research is dedicated to the diverse challenges and changes of global competition in order to prepare Germany as a business location for tomorrow's production.

The research topics described are addressed within interdisciplinary research and industry projects in an exchange between science and industry. These topics are further elaborated within various transfer formats to ensure that scientific findings are transferred to industrial practice. Through transfer centers such as the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Darmstadt (MDZ), the Competence Center for Labor and AI (KompAKI) and ProKI, we reach a broad mass of manufacturing companies in order to transfer research results into the industry and to support companies in overcoming the challenges of digitization and artificial intelligence.

With the FlowFactory, a new research and learning factory is also being created on the Lichtwiese campus, which will enable the investigation and demonstration of current production management issues using state-of-the-art technologies.
