Paderborn University research project presents product at the European Microwave Week Precise signals for data transmission are essential for measurement technology, radar systems and telecommunications. In the “RadiOptics” research project, which was launched last June at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University and from which QuSinus GmbH emerged, scientists are therefore working on a signal generator that aims to reduce potential…

Lean production methods, digital tools, engineering design, use of collaborative robots – in the "Applied Production Technology" course, students analyze and design an assembly system. They gain practical experience, adapt assembly and storage systems and optimize processes. The new designed assembly system is simulated in the “SAMRT Innovation Lab” laboratory infrastructure. The findings enable them to identify and implement further optimization…

Digital business models require digital expertise - this is how Alena Tušek presented the BMBF project "KLUG" coordinated by the Chair for Product Creation at the kick-off of the "DaWeNa-HUB" on 26 June in Munich.
