… and How ?
working together with Industry, Development Organizations, Universities and Education
Case: Flexible manufacturing
Different levels of involvement:
Worldclass research:
Applied research & Development
Developing SME’s: EU, ESF
FMS – Flexible manufacturing Systems
Machining tools aroud stacker crane + Production control system/softwareautomating the whole production => Unmanned production (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX7rV5EdbDo&feature=player_embedded)

Every manufacturing process needs materials and a system to take it into the process and at the end to the customer
Rail guided stacker crane is one approach – widely used in parts
manufacturing and assembly integrated FM- systems (FMS)

Not only process machinery but far more important --INFORMATION –
is needed to take care of qualified, just in time
services to the customers
One, perhaps the most important outcome of the project is the concept of common, shared and scalable information dissemination tool
