Our Digital Manufacturing research theme investigates how digital technologies are transforming manufacturing and engineering practices throughout the entire value chain to tackle significant scientific, industrial, and societal challenges.

A core issue in digital manufacturing is the rapid advancement of technology, which often outpaces the ability of organizations and individuals to adapt. This leads to diverse interpretations of digital manufacturing - you might receive ten distinct definitions if you ask ten different experts, each shaped by their organization's specific applications. These interpretations can vary widely, from basic automation and robotics implementations to sophisticated, fully integrated value chains optimized for delivering premium products and services.

For our research team, digital manufacturing centers on practical, value-driven applications where digital tools create and capture business value within manufacturing and engineering sectors.

Our primary research focuses include:

Digital transformation roadmaps Practical applications of Digital Twins Decentralized production models Manufacturing-as-a-Service offerings New digital-enabled business frameworks Intellectual Property strategies for digitalization Human-centric productivity approaches
