Strategy / Vision for PLM

Virtual Product Creation is one of the keys to ensure effective product and manufacturing engineering. Digital innovations are essential for the future because they enable engineers to master the increasing complexity of information and to allow intuitive use of process and functional simulation.

Core competencies / main areas of education

• Semantic data management for PLM, AI, Machinen Learning and Data Analytics
• Sustainable product development
• Product creation processes
• Product modelling and simulation
• Collaborative engineering
• Digital and functional mock ups
• New Interaction technologies, e.g. virtual and augmented reality, multi-touch, mobile interaction
• Digital factory

Main areas of research

• Product development methods and processes
• Product design and functional verification
