The sculptures of the British-American artist Anthony James, which seemingly mirror to infinity, were the inspiration for this online workshop. By means of numerous building instructions from the Internet, we have succeeded in constructing a small replica. We will show you how you can use the possibilities in our lab to build an impressive effect lamp yourself.nd give you an overview of the materials required for this and the individual process steps.
The frame designed with CAD comes from the 3D printer. Using a laser cutter, acrylic glass plates are cut and then assembled with the frame to form a dodecahedron. Disposable mirror film on the acrylic glass and LED strips on the inner edges create the "Infinity effect ”.
Be there when we publish the project on our channel on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.

This webinar will discuss specific attack scenarios and vulnerabilities in production facilities that can leave systems vulnerable to cyberattacks. Professor Langendörfer will also discuss known incidents in which these vulnerabilities were exploited to cause damage. Finally, solutions are presented that contribute toto address these vulnerabilities and improve cybersecurity in production facilities.

The basics of AR technology will be presented briefly and compactly in the online seminar. In addition to the different types, technological prerequisites and fields of application are shown.
The workshop provides a basic understanding of the possibilities and functioning of AR technology and helps to answer questions in dealing with AR-based assistance systems, possiblee to clarify concerns and find out whether adopting such solutions is an option for their own company.

The following aspects will be discussed during the online workshop: What is augmented reality and how does the technology differ from virtual reality? In which business areas can AR be used and


what are the benefits?
What challenges and problems can be solved with AR?
How extensive is the implementation of your own AR projects and what should absolutely be taken into account?
 

Agenda:

What is augmented reality
Development history of AR systems Application
examplefor AR assistance systems (selection)
• Product presentation
• Planningwork instructions, remote maintenance)
What is needed?
• Mobile, stationary and wearable hardware
How can you develop your own AR apps?

TARGET GROUP
The workshop is aimed ath especially to those responsible in the management, production and plant management, as well as service and maintenance, who want to gain initial access to the technology. This explicitly addresses small and medium-sized companies from industry and crafts. It is possible to integrate industry-specific use cases for better comprehensibility.
 

ORGANIZATION
The workshop can take place either online or in person (e.g. in our model factory in Cottbus) and usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Depending on the mode and location, it is then possible to try out mobile or stationary demonstrators when conducting the workshop in person.

In our digitalized world, cyber attacks are on the rise and it is becoming increasingly important to protect our networks. This video gives you an introduction to the open source router operating system, OpenWrt.

But that's not all! We will also introduce the world-renowned intrusion detection system, Snort. Snort helps you to detect unwanted intrusion attempts into your network at an early stage and react accordingly.

The best part? In this video, we'll show you step-by-step how to easily install Snort on an OpenWrt router.
Let's dive into the world of OpenWrt and Snort together and arm our network against the danger of cyber attacks!

Innovative projects and digital solutions in the municipal sector are an important part of a broader process of digital transformation that is being driven by rapidly developing technologies such as artificial intelligence. Cybersecurity plays a central role in this as a cross-cutting issue. To support companies and municipalities on this path, a comprehensive network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) has been established in the European Union, of which EDIH Saxony is a member. The simul⁺InnovationHub of the Saxon State Ministry for Regional Development is responsible for networking between business, administration and science within EDIH Saxony. It is also about bringing together end users and providers of technological solutions on the way to a smart city or smart region.

Target group:
- Small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups, municipalities, research institutions

Focus areas:
- Energy efficiency - minimizing energy consumption through the use of advanced technologies and solutions for managing energy consumption in public administration.
- Strategies for small and medium-sized cities with regard to innovative mobility and infrastructure solutions.
- Solutions for cyber security in cities and municipalities

Objectives:
- Presentation and discussion of current trends in relation to smart city solutions
- Presentation of concrete digital solutions for public administration by regional SMEs and start-ups
- Presentation of already implemented solutions as well as planned investments and problems encountered by representatives of cities and municipalities

Digitization in Lusatian SMEs - Innovative paths into the future
We decided to focus on this topic because, among other things, numerous companies stated in a company survey conducted by the MinGenTec network at the beginning of the year that the area of digitalization is of particular interest to them and is also a topic for future R&D projects. With our partner MinGenTec, we would therefore like to offer scientists and company representatives a platform for the exchange of know-how and experience as well as new findings and innovative solutions from research.

Digitalization is innovative – With the Transfer Day event format, we want to provide interesting suggestions, impart practical experience and valuable impulses and present exciting projects. In addition to the lecture program, laboratory visits and an exhibition area with projects and practical examples will be organized.

Giving insights - visiting research laboratories

As an additional offer, we offer a tour of the model hall of the Chair of Automation Technology from 11 a.m., guided by our EDIH pro_digital and the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Spreeland, as well as further opportunities in the CoLab, Research Center FZ 3H and Pantha Rhei.
