Open Lab: Smart production at your fingertips - from the idea to modern processes

As part of our monthly event series, "Smart Production Up Close – From Concept to Modern Processes," we cordially invite small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to visit the model and experimental environments at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (every 1st Thursday) and the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (every 3rd Thursday).

Our goal is not merely to discuss innovative production and digitalization solutions in theory, but to allow you to experience them firsthand using real-world demonstrators and to work together on applying them to your specific use cases.

What to Expect

• Live demonstrations of modern production and automation technologies
• Personalized discussions regarding your specific questions and challenges
• Preliminary assessments of potential applications and implementation strategies
• Direct access to experts from both the fields of research and industry practice

In the Open Lab, you will experience - among others - the following demonstrators:

Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau

• Industry 4.0 applications
• Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in practice
• Machine vision systems for industrial applications
• Robotics solutions in production
• ...as well as many other on-site technologies

Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg

• Flexible robotic assembly for small batch sizes in practice
• Simulation and validation of cybersecurity defenses in industry
• Energy efficiency in manual work processes
• ...as well as many other on-site technologies

Event Schedule

The event takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. The session is structured based on the specific registrations received and the thematic priorities identified. The duration of the sessions may vary (up to 120 minutes).

Customization over Standard Programs:
When registering, please indicate your specific interests or areas of focus. This allows us to:

• Tailor the Open Lab content to your specific needs
• Select the most relevant demonstrators for you
• Involve specific subject-matter experts as needed

Who is this format suitable for?

This series is aimed specifically at small and medium-sized enterprises that:

• have specific questions regarding production or digitalization
• wish to test new technologies in a practical setting
