Presentation of the status of the „REDUCE“ project at Vitesco Technologies (part of Schaeffler AG)
In order to discuss interim results from the "REDUCE" project with those responsible at Vitesco Technologies (VT) and to plan further steps, employees from the Human-Cyber-Physical Systems (HCPS) department visited the VT production halls in Limbach-Oberfrohna again on 29 October 2024.

Summer School „Modelling and Simulation in Materials and Surface Technology“ held for the first time
This year, the Chair of WOT hosted the "Modelling and Simulation in Materials and Surface Engineering" summer school for the first time. From 30 September to 2 October 2024, fifteen participants learned with great success how to generate models from the theories discussed in our lectures and experimentally collected data and how to use them in simulations.

WOT excursion to Scholz Recycling GmbH
On 16 September 2023, the employees of the WOT professorship were able to visit Scholz GmbH together at one of its largest processing sites in Espenhain near Leipzig. We spent three hours on site and learnt first-hand about the challenges and physical limits of separating and recycling scrap. The highlight was the guided tour of the company premises, where we experienced the impressive processes involved in handling and processing several hundred thousand tonnes of scrap every year.

Interdisciplinary DFG project „Method and model development for the simulation of layer thickness distributions on complex shaped components during galvanic layer deposition“
For over a year now, a project at the WOT professorship has been working on using numerical process simulation to minimise both costs and experimental expenses in the optimisation of real galvanic processes. The project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) (project number 524933028).
