Division
Process Informatics and Virtual Product Development
Simulation, Visualization, Integration
The division Process Informatics and Virtual Product Development with its interdisciplinary team researches innovative virtual technologies for their application in an industrial environment. The applications range from Virtual Reality supported design reviews or trade show presentations with the help of mobile VR systems to complex Industry 4.0 solutions. The division with its Virtual Reality Center Production Engineering (VRCP) is equipped with a variety of VR/AR systems (5-Sided-CAVE, powerwall, mobile VR system 'moVE', robot workplace for human machine interaction, etc.).
The AVARE network was initiated by the division in 2015 and focuses on small and medium-sized companies. The goal is to enable them to access virtual technologies as these are becoming more and more important, especially in time of Industry 4.0. In addition AVARE actively supports the application of funds and initiation of projects. (more information: avare.info).
The lectures "Virtual Reality Technologies in Mechanical Engineering" and "Principles of Process Informatics" as well as the seminar "Virtual Reality Modeling" give students the opportunity to learn the VR basics. A wide range of project, seminar, bachelor and master thesis are offered. Furthermore there are workshops, expert discussions and demonstrations to communicate the potentials of VR technologies to a large audience.
