Research Services

The main areas of the TU Wien Pilot Factory Industry 4.0 focuses on the discrete, multi-variant series production up to the production in very small quantities (lot size 1, “high-mix and low-volume”). All aspects of product creation from design to assembly are included in an integrative approach. The topics that are addressed both in research and in training, in the context of demonstration scenarios, are dedicated to current issues from the industry and are intended to represent possible solutions.

Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure

This infrastructure, offers small and medium-sized companies particular low-threshold access to the topics of Industry 4.0. In addition to a wide range of training courses in the academic field and for lifelong learning on the job, the infrastructure is also available for research projects. Large production machines in subtractive and additive metal processing are available here. In addition, there are industrial robots, collaborative robots, automated guided vehicles, and the IT hardware and software required for the automation and digitization of production processes.
