Specialist areas

Complex challenges in the field of automation often cannot be solved by a single discipline alone. Therefore, it is natural that our fields are characterized by close interdisciplinary collaboration, which ensures the best possible results.

Electrical Engineering

The specialist area of electrical engineering offers a wealth of opportunities for successfully conducting development and research projects, particularly in the electronics field, thanks to its extensive expertise and comprehensive laboratory facilities.

Computer science

The specialist area of computer science focuses on various aspects of digitalization and automation. To successfully manage projects, it offers strong expertise in the areas of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), integration and programming of microcontrollers, creation of intelligent algorithms for process optimization, development of apps for smart devices (e.g., Android devices), and the development and implementation of innovative communication networks.

Mechanical engineering

The specialist area of mechanical engineering focuses on product, process, and system development in the field of handling technology. Specifically, it deals with computer-aided development of mechatronic systems that address the challenges faced by sole proprietorships, SMEs, and industrial enterprises. Interdisciplinary projects carried out at the Department Automation Technology range from pure concepts and digital twins to physical functional models, which are implemented in-house. Requirements are analyzed, problems abstracted, and results developed using the latest technologies, all without a company-specific perspective.

Fachbereich Automatisierungstechnik

Der Fachbereich Automatisierungstechnik vereint auf interdisziplinäre Weise zentrale Elemente aus der Elektrotechnik, der Informatik und dem Maschinenbau, um komplexe Systeme ganzheitlich zu entwickeln und praxisnah umzusetzen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Verbindung mechanischer Komponenten, elektronischer Schaltungen und In-House entwickelter Software zu durchdachten Automatisierungslösungen – von der ersten Idee bis zum funktionalen Prototyp.

Fachbereich Energie & Internet of Things

The specialist area of Energy & Internet of Things is dedicated to energy optimisation in the broad context of automation technology. This includes energy technology issues as well as topics in the field of digitalisation and data analysis. The area focuses on energy technology optimisation, such as process control systems, renewable energies and simulations, home and building automation (smart home / smart building), IoT and network technology as well as data analysis and visualisation, including big data and mixed reality.
