dfki.de/bremen-ambient-assisted-living-lab-baallLocation: Bremen
Institute: German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI)
Domain:Mission statement: In the Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Lab new intelligent technologies are being tested in a realistic environment, and development work is made transparent to the public. The BAALL is a fully furnished apartment, which adapts to the needs of the inhabitants.
Digital Engineering Lab
iao.fraunhofer.de/digital-engineering-labLocation: Stuttgart
Institute: Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO
Domain:Mission statement: In Fraunhofer IAO’s Digital Engineering Lab – DELab for short – it is possible to experience products and their production before they actually exist. The focus of the work carried out in this “living lab” is the process chain from the idea for a new product through to planning the product’s manufacturing and assembly.
dip – Digital Integrated Production
ipk.fraunhofer.de/en/pooling-expertise/competence-centersLocation: Berlin
Institute: Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology
Domain:Mission statement: The development and application center deals with topics such as machine-to-machine communication, cooperation between humans and robots or globally networked business models and provides solutions for self-organizing production, cloud-based control platform, condition monitoring; connected factory and virtual commissioning with Smart Hybrid Prototyping.
DMS laboratory
iao.fraunhofer.de/dms-laboratory-real-life-testingLocation: Stuttgart
Institute: Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO
Domain:Mission statement: Fraunhofer IAO has set up a DMS lab in which companies can try out and compare different document management systems. Researchers from the institute are on hand to explain the functions of the installed systems and provide advice where necessary. The lab allows potential users to obtain a first-hand picture of the way these systems work, and to compare their performance on the basis of standardized scenarios. Various usability approaches can also be applied to evaluate the systems at an early stage in the selection process.
eHealth Interoperability Lab
fokus.fraunhofer.de/interoperability_labLocation: Berlin
Institute: Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems
Domain:Mission statement: Whether it is the electronic transfer of health records or the proactive care of emergency patients, the eHealth Interoperability Lab offers the state-of-the-art development and test environment for all relevant applications in the healthcare sector.
Electric vehicle fleet with charging infrastructure
iao.fraunhofer.de/electric-vehicle-fleet-with-charging-infrastructureLocation: Stuttgart
Institute: Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO
Domain:Mission statement: To study the broad range of questions that electromobility presents and to translate a variety of research topics from theory into practice, Fraunhofer IAO operates an extensive fleet of electric vehicles and the necessary charging infrastructure. This consists of more than 30 alternating-current (AC) charge spots, each delivering a charging capacity of up to 22 kW per vehicle, as well as several direct-current (DC) charge spots for charging capacities of up to 150 kW per vehicle. In addition to the research vehicles, we offer electric vehicles for everyday use in the fleets of several institutes on campus.
Electronic Business Innovation Center
e-business.fraunhofer.deLocation: Stuttgart
Institute: Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO
Domain:Mission statement: The focus of work at the Electronic Business Innovation Center of the Fraunhofer IAO is the efficient design of work flows within and between companies.
