The classic world of industry is undergoing major changes and is transforming into an industry of learning systems. Data and information concerning systems, resources, energies or customer requirements are becoming the central drivers. Mastering, linking and using this data poses major challenges for industry. The previous linear production process is becoming a multidimensional control process that operates in real time.

Our goal is to enable all resources of a production process to be used in a better focused and more efficient way in the future. The process thus becomes more flexible, value creation is significantly improved, as is customer satisfaction.

Our focus is to enable resource-efficient, resilient and responsive systems and value networks. We therefore address issues related to the linking and use of data throughout the value creation process. This involves the use of cutting-edge technologies.

In this way, the profile topic develops essential building blocks to increase the efficiency of the resources and energies used, both to deploy workforce flexibly and to fulfill customers' wishes individually and quickly or to save energy.
