DigiTain

Third project meeting at Fraunhofer in Freiburg

The DigiTain (Digitalization for Sustainability) research project for the fully digital product development of sustainable electric drive architectures is in full swing.

Around 120 participants from the consortium came together in a hybrid format for the third DigiTain project meeting on January 18, 2024. The 90 local participants were welcomed by the project partners Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics (EMI), the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM) and the Institute for Sustainable Technical Systems (INATECH) in Freiburg. After the welcome address by Dr. Norbert Dölle (Mercedes-Benz, project coordinator) and Prof. Dr. Frank Schäfer (Fraunhofer EMI, host & project partner), the focus was on the current status of the work packages and the report on the goals and milestones achieved by the WP leads. Once again, the participants took the opportunity to discuss further research work and interfaces in workshops and to plan the next steps. The next DigiTain project meeting will take place in July 2024 at the project partner Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) in Ulm.

Second project meeting at the Technical University of Dresden

The DigiTain (Digitalization for Sustainability) research project for the fully digital product development of sustainable electric drive architectures is in full swing.

Following the first project meeting in Stuttgart on January 31, 2023, around 100 participants from the consortium came together on July 6, mostly on site in Dresden at the project partner Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) at the Technical University of Dresden, but also virtually in some cases. Opened by Dr. Norbert Dölle (Mercedes-Benz, project coordinator) and Prof. Niels Modler (ILK TU Dresden, host & project partner), the focus was on the current status of the work packages and the report on the first goals achieved by the WP leads. In addition, the project partners were also given the opportunity to coordinate and discuss their work in workshops on the days surrounding the project meeting. Here, further research work and interfaces could be discussed in greater depth and the next steps planned so that exciting interim results can be expected at the next DigiTain project meeting in January 2024 at the Fraunhofer Institutes EMI and IWM in Freiburg.

KickOff at Mercedes-Benz in Sindelfingen

The DigiTain (Digitalization for Sustainability) research project for the fully digital product development of sustainable electric drive architectures is picking up speed.

At the kick-off meeting on January 31, 2023, around 100 participants from the consortium came together, mostly on site at the consortium leader Mercedes-Benz AG in Sindelfingen, but also virtually in some cases. In addition to presenting the work packages and planning the collaboration, the kick-off meeting offered the partners the opportunity for an overarching exchange on the planned research content.
