AI Platform Aims to Enable Energy Sharing in Industry
As part of the EU project FlexBit, Fraunhofer IFF is developing an AI-powered platform to optimize energy storage systems and manage industrial energy-sharing systems. The concept is being tested in an Industrial Energy Community in Magdeburg and is gaining additional relevance due to the new regulatory framework for energy sharing.

Human-robot collaboration (www.industrial-production.de)
Safe collaboration between humans and robots
The factory of the future is highly automated and digitalized. Cooperation between humans and robots plays a key role in the automation of production. Safety in particular is an issue that poses technical and ethical challenges. The Fraunhofer IFF is contributing to safe human-robot collaboration with its research.

Cobot planner (www.industrial-production.de)
Planning aid for safe HRC
With the Cobot Planner, the Fraunhofer IFF has developed a planning aid that ensures improved occupational health and safety in the safe and efficient design of collaborative robots.

Professor Julia Arlinghaus appointed to the Science Council
Prof. Dr. oec. Julia C. Arlinghaus, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF in Magdeburg and Chair of Production Systems and Automation at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, has been appointed to the Science Council of the Federal Republic of Germany by the Federal President.

Assistance systems (www.industrial-production.de)
Support for manual assembly
Digital assistance system. The industry is increasingly demanding inspection technologies that seamlessly record the correct condition of manually manufactured supplier products.

MRK planning (www.industrial-production.de)
Closing the methodological gap
Planning joint workstations for humans and robots. The planning and integration of robot systems with which humans can work together safely in ongoing production processes is still complicated.

RFID optimizes automotive production
The pressure to optimize in the production halls of car manufacturers is great: the variance is constantly increasing and costs must remain within limits. Fraunhofer researchers are now using RFID technology to bring more transparency to logistics and production processes at car manufacturers. This means less effort and greater efficiency.
