Applied Research Projects
By linking flexible disassembly and machining processes with components of robotics and AI technologies as well as the digital twin, a partially automated disassembly plant for traction batteries will be developed and realized within the KaDoTE project. The plant will enable holistic sustainability of the value chain in German electromobility.

The Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Chemnitz and the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Ilmenau join forces and bundle their competencies in the field of artificial intelligence. The offers of the AI hub Saxony-Thuringia are ideal for small and medium-sized businesses.
Main contact: Martin Folz
In the KISS project, a market and networking platform is being developed that uses AI-supported analyses and simulations to enable the rapid identification and commissioning of production goods such as protective masks. In crisis scenarios in particular, hospitals and aid organizations will be able to specify their requirements precisely via the platform and be networked directly with producers.
