iFD visits the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg as a partner organisation
iFD GmbH visited the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg as a industry partner. Dr Kämpf, Head of the R&D Department at iFD GmbH, shared his expertise in the fields of warehouse management systems, cloud solutions, automation and blockchain with the students from the Master’s programme in Industrial Engineering who were in attendance.
Through the use of innovative communication technologies and video sequences, the lecture series became a practical, entertaining and varied event, complemented by a practical task.
iFD GmbH maintains a very close collaboration with the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg. Joint areas of activity in the fields of simulation and indoor positioning enable high-quality scientific research and practical application in logistics centres.
Plans are already underway for the upcoming talks in the ‘Data in Digitalisation’ series at the Centre for Efficient Factories. iFD will contribute with a presentation on the topic of ‘AR-based navigation in intralogistics environments’.
In addition to the training and education of young professionals, the Chair of Factory Planning and Operations at the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg operates a model factory known as the “Centre for Efficient Factories Senftenberg”, or ZEF Senftenberg for short. The aim of ZEF Senftenberg is to showcase a model environment brimming with innovative technologies relating to manufacturing and assembly, which can help companies generate new ideas and ultimately achieve greater efficiency. To this end, a range of selected equipment has been procured to appeal to various user groups, such as equipment suppliers, manufacturing companies, students, etc., to inform them about new innovative techniques and raise their awareness of their practical application.

iFD GmbH has already carried out numerous successful research initiatives and projects with regional universities and universities of applied sciences. One of its latest successes was Hubert – a driverless transport system developed in collaboration with partners and Chemnitz University of Technology, with the aim of achieving a faster and safer automated process flow – without completely banishing humans from the warehouses.
