Digital transformation is a term for the digital revolution or digital turnaround and includes disruptive technologies, innovative business models as well as autonomisation, flexibilisation and individualisation - and this in a wide variety of areas ranging from the manufacturing industry to healthcare.
This research area spans various topics across faculties and touches almost all organisational units as well as other research areas of the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt. In addition, we are actively involved in the Lower Austrian initiative "Haus der Digitalisierung".
We perform research and development in the following topics:
- Additive manufacturing (3D printing) of components made of metals or plastics
- The impact of digital transformation on organisations and work
- Cross-platform development of sophisticated software solutions for all common operating systems
- Digital assistive technologies in the fields of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), prevention and rehabilitation
- Digitalisation in agriculture (Smart Farming)
- Development and application of chemometrics and machine learning algorithms in the evaluation of bioanalytical data (mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, chromatography)
- Development and application of artificial intelligence methods in production and logistics planning, control and monitoring
- Development and prototyping of electronics, microelectronics and automated measurement systems
- Development of solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Industrial robotics and automation technology including human-robot collaboration
- Integrated quantum sensor technology
- New concepts of human-machine interaction
- Simulation, virtualisation and visualisation of highly sophisticated (micro-)mechanical, (micro-)electronic or mechatronic systems or products, including digital twins
- Supporting digital transformation through infrastructure in space and data from space
- Investigation of health, technical and economic relevant factors in direct e-health applications (direct effect on health status) as well as in indirect e-health applications (indirect effect on population health via systemic effects)
Infrastructure:
- Additive manufacturing lab (EOS M280 and EOS M400 laser beam melting systems, EOS P396 laser sintering system, Incus HammerLab 35 stereolithography system, Carbolite-Gero-GLO-210-11 heat treatment furnace).
- Innovation Lab (3D Printing Lab, Assembly Lab, Electronics Lab, Laser Lab, Metal Lab, Robotics Lab, Textile Lab, Wood Lab, Special Projects Lab - lots of space for big ideas)
- Robotics & Automation Lab
