We are doing interdisciplinary research in technologies for production and automation of after tomorrow. The industrial applicability is always in the focus. Our research activities include the following key topics.
The ISW advises companies on research topics dealt with at the institute and thus helps to ensure the knowledge transfer from fundamental research to the industry. Moreover, companies are being supported in the implementation from prototypes to new products according to their requirements.
