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

The MiP | Management of Industrial Production research group is particularly concerned with the strategic integration of innovative technologies into production, taking planning, production and service processes into account. The focus is on the processing of research and industrial projects on the following topics:

• Human-centered assistance systems in cyber-physical production environments
• ML-based innovation in production
• Data-driven business model innovation
• Adaptive production planning and control

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 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 the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Darmstadt (MDZ) transfer center and innovation workshops, we reach a wide range of manufacturing companies to translate research findings into industrial practice and help them overcome the challenges of digitalization 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.
