About

https://www.iff.fraunhofer.de/en/business-units/energy-systems-infrastructures/digital-tools-for-integrated-infrastructures.html

We are focused on all the relevant, pressing and complex challenges of factory operation and automation. We help manufacturing companies transition to intelligent manufacturing. We are the technology partner for designing, developing, equipping and operating work, manufacturing and logistics systems and their supply infrastructures. Our departments cover the entire life cycle of products and industrial production systems. We design work systems in which humans and machines collaborate. We combine these work systems into efficient production and logistics systems and connect them with each other and their environment through intelligent infrastructures.

Focus of the Business Unit: Energy Systems and Infrastructures

Energy and raw material prices are rising as fossil energy sources are depleted. Making renewable energy resources utilizable has thus become a crucial issue of our day. This is accompanied by demands to utilize energy efficiently to cut costs in companies despite rising energy prices. The Energy Systems and Infrastructures Research Field develops innovative technologies that efficiently convert and sustainably supply energy. We do this by creating optimally closed energy cycles in production processes or by utilizing renewable energy resources in efficient conversion systems. The increasing use of renewable energies is imposing additional demands on energy supply systems’ electrical and information technologies. We develop solutions for large-scale monitoring, control and protection of the smart grids of the future incorporating the generator, load and storage structures.
