Production Engineering Laboratory (C 023)

The Production Engineering Laboratory supports the teaching of students in the Faculty of Engineering and Management. Exercises are carried out, e.g. on process optimisation, workplace design and time measurement as well as robotics and interactive worker guidance in assembly. In addition, a virtual planning system is available to virtually set up and test workshops, assembly processes and plants. In addition, milled and turned parts for university use are produced in the laboratory for production technology.
