Electric mobility research: development and optimisation of production processes
The Scientific Society for Production Engineering's (wbk's) Institute of Production Science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with its more than 100 employees is thematically associated with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. AT KIT, the three areas of manufacturing and materials engineering, machines, plants and process automation as well as production systems, headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Volker Schulze, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Fleischer and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gisela Lanza, are dedicated to application-related research, teaching and innovation in the field of production engineering.
In addition to research in the classic fields of mechanical and plant engineering, the wbk focuses on the development of production solutions for enabling technologies, such as electric mobility. On the one hand, it examines how classic production technologies and systems can be transferred to new materials, and on the other hand, it researches the upscaling of plants and the design of future factory environments. In joint projects with industrial partners, the wbk develops solutions for a wide range of topics in production engineering and also develops methods and processes for the production of tomorrow.
