Research in Mechanical Systems Understanding and shaping the world of tomorrow

The mission of the Competence Centre Mechanical Systems is the holistic and efficient design of mechanical and mechatronic systems with regard to their conception, design, manufacturing, and application.

Climate change, energy provision, automation and digitalisation are major challenges that our society will face in the coming years and decades. The impact on the economy and the industry is enormous. In order for them to remain competitive, answers and new approaches to solutions are needed. The Competence Centre Mechanical Systems is tackling these questions and is ready to realise practical solutions with applied research and development. In doing so, the competence centre focuses on four fields of activity in which it has plenty of experience, know-how and a successful track record. The range of services on offer includes student work and contract research, as well as publicly funded research and services.

Fields of Activity

Produktentwicklung: Whiteboard mit Berechnungen und Skizzen, Pult mit Stiften und Papier

Product Development

The focus of the Mechanical Systems Competence Centre is the development of new products and the realisation of innovations. The repertoire ranges from the search for ideas, followed by the design, simulation, and prototyping. Needless to say, that the use of the latest methods and tools is a matter of course for the team.
