Today, digital methods, processes and IT tools are indispensable in the product life cycle, from design to recycling. They help to plan and control product development times, product quality and costs. At Fraunhofer IPK, we are realizing the vision of a complete digitalization of product development and planning processes – so that you as a manufacturer or user can consider the later phases of your product's life cycle at an early stage.
In Digital Engineering, we are advancing innovative solutions along the dimensions of intelligent integration, to design individually and efficiently adapted and interoperable IT systems landscapes, sustainable product ecosystems, to consider, model and assess global interconnections of systems and their environment, as well as the extended reality, to create interactive, user-centered immersive environments in an engineering metaverse.
