THE FACTORY OF THE FUTURE
We strive for a smart factory: with a focus on Industry 4.0, we develop and manufacture hardware and software devices that enable production to be high-quality, flexible as well as sustainable for the environment, economy, and society. Digital technologies, artificial intelligence, electrification, and hydrogen propulsion are our main fields of research.
