Reference components with defect characteristics are essential for evaluating test methods in the quality assurance of fuel cell production. Due to the poor accessibility of defective bipolar plates, this article presents a solution approach in...

Accurate characterization of miniaturized glass lenses is essential due to the link between performance and geometrical properties. This article explores using optical coherence tomography (OCT) for miniaturized glass lens characterization. OCT...

Manual assembly offers considerable flexibility and therefore remains an indispensable aspect of production, when automation is not economically viable, particularly when the intricacies of the processes involved render it unfeasible. Consequently,...

Soft robots consist of a soft actuator, which is characterized by its highly elastic deformability, and a corresponding sensor system for position determination. Conventional strain gauges are manufactured on a carrier substrate and can, however,...

Achieving tight tolerances is a challenge when turning thin-walled workpieces. Due to the low stiffness of thin-walled workpieces, high workpiece deformations can occur even when clamping forces are low. Currently, the clamping force is adjusted in...

Current challenges in production, such as shortage of skilled workers, increase the need to automate processes and increase productivity. Multi-modal foundation models address this automation demand for a variety of applications by deriving...

The realization of the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in companies faces significant challenges. To ensure a trustworthy and transparent implementation, companies should involve employees in the development and implementation process and...

Research data management (RDM) has been gaining in importance for years. However, the goal of preparing data sustainably and reusing existing data instead of laboriously collecting it from scratch is rarely pursued by researchers in the German...
