Intelligent production processes lead to intelligent products. Such products are not only the guarantors but also the prerequisites for the competitiveness of companies in the future. As an innovative business partner, the Center of Excellence specialises in research and transfer related to smart production. Coordination and networking of all relevant departments facilitates a lively exchange of information between the Hagenberg, Steyr and Wels campuses with regard to R&D as well as bachelor‘s and master‘s theses. Pilot projects and demonstration projects related to the theme ‘Innovative Applications for the Digitisation of Production’ are being carried out together with Upper Austrian businesses.
