Collaborative Doctoral Programme Promise 4.0
Industry 4.0 for Small and Medium-sized Companies: Intelligent Production Systems and Methods
This Collaborative Doctoral Programme is concerned with ground-breaking research topics to do with Industry 4.0 and has 12 doctoral research grants.
The Institute for Industrial Manufacturing and FactoryOperations (IFF) at the University of Stuttgart and the Universities of Applied Sciences in Esslingen, Aalen and Heilbronn work closely together with small and medium-sized companies on the great challenges of digital change.
The aim of the Collaborative Doctoral Programme is to provide the scientific base in "Industry 4.0" so that the work of small and medium-sized companies in this area can be driven forwards and strengthened.
The research focuses were derived from the competence profiles of the collaborating universities:
- smart factory data and simulation
- intelligent sensor and actuator systems
- human-machine interaction
- production management in complex production structures
