Applied Research Projects
Capacity-oriented material management (CORMA)
Capacity-oriented material management (CORMA) is a production control system. It has not yet been definitively defined, has not been evaluated in terms of performance, and neglects capacity control. The project therefore has three objectives: to evaluate how CORMA principles can improve production control, to operationalize CORMA, and to further develop CORMA.

AI-supported, semi-automated disassembly of traction batteries
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.
