Autonomous transport systems for electrolyzer production
The LPS and the RIF Institute for Research and Transfer are developing an automated conveyor concept for the series production of electrolysers. The modular system uses AMRs that communicate with each other and utilize the existing building infrastructure. The concept shows how automated transport solutions support the scalability of electrolyser production.

Robot colleague arrives via simulation
The success of an MRI application is closely linked to the planning and validation of the newly designed workstation system. The LPS at the Ruhr University Bochum is researching new ways to investigate and evaluate MRI applications through simulation.

Human-robot collaboration (www.industrial-production.de)
The robot becomes a colleague
Best practice for HRC. Companies see human-robot collaboration as a key technology for solving emerging challenges such as increasing variant diversity, ageing workforces and flexibilization.

OpenPGP, S/MIME, TLS (www.computer-automation.de)
Bypass e-mail encryption
Edward Snowden encrypted his revelatory emails with OpenPGP five years ago, because the additional encryption layer is considered particularly secure - until now.

Generation of assembly information (www.industrial-production.de)
Glasses for terminal block production
Flexible assembly assistance. The development of an assembly assistance system for areas with small batch sizes and a large number of variants is a research activity of the Chair of Production Systems (LPS) at the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB).
