Research into production processes under various gravitational conditions and the development of production technology suitable for use in space.
The increase of flexibility, safety and efficiency in processes of production, transport and handling are the main tasks of the Institute of Transport and Automation Technology (ITA). Due to the continuous increase in the requirements for transport and automation processes, the need for holistic solution approaches is growing. These approaches range from decision algorithms and circuit design to applications in intralogistics and manufacturing. Head of the institute is Professor Ludger Overmeyer.
