Fraunhofer IFF's Magazine about Manufacturing of the Future

Factory planning and operation as well as industrial automation - these topics are at the centre of our research. With our expertise in digitalisation, machine learning and artificial intelligence, we develop individual robotics and assistance systems for direct support of humans in production, high-precision measurement and testing technologies for error-free and resource-saving manufacturing of products, as well as unique solutions for intelligent and sustainable energy supply.
