Professorship WOT represented at the Südwestfälischer Oberflächentag with a lecture on „Human-centred digitalisation and artificial intelligence“
On 27 June 2024, the South Westphalian Surface Day took place for the 13th time at the SIHK in Hagen. The event, which was well attended by around 75 participants from the electroplating industry, featured five presentations on the topics of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, electromobility, fire protection and energy efficiency.

GIGA – Green and intelligent electroplating for the supply of relevant aircraft components based on modular, robot-based electroplating with inline process monitoring
On 9 July 2024, the LuFo project GIGA started with a successful kick-off meeting at Chemnitz University of Technology. The project aims to develop a green and intelligent electroplating process using modular, robot-based electroplating with inline process monitoring. This enables safe and reproducible coating of relevant aircraft components in small and medium batch sizes. The project is supported and funded by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK).

Doctoral seminar 2024 – On the accompanied path to Dr.-Ing.
Once again this year, internal and external doctoral students met at the Chair of WOT from 24 to 26 June 2024 to present the current status of their doctoral project to their supervisor Prof. Thomas Lampke and other experts. The doctoral topics of the 16 young scientists cover a broad scientific spectrum from galvanic and thermal surface technology to bio-based coatings, the mechanical behaviour of high-performance materials and sustainability concepts in materials and surface technology.
