Digitalization means alteration, change, adaptation. For technical systems new sensors or complete system solutions are required to build bridges between the real and the digital world. In automation technology, components with new interfaces have been developed that can usually be integrated into modern systems with minimal effort. Existing manufacturing systems often present a challenge, especially in the case of missing solutions for digital sensing.
In this area, Fraunhofer ILT offers laser measurement technology, sensor technology and systems engineering as well as simulation and modeling systems for the digital future. Our customer-specific solutions aim at digital integration in the aims of Industry 4.0 and thus make a contribution to the digital progress.
