Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA
Types of cooperation
We see ourselves as technology pioneers and solution developers. You as an industrial customer and research partner have specific issues or problems that you cannot solve on your own because of their increasingly challenging and complex nature.
When your organization collaborates with Fraunhofer IPA, technologies are developed jointly and made usable for production, research results are transferred to applications. We improve products and manufacturing processes in terms of costs, quality, and output. The type of cooperation or the project format is tailored to the respective task individually.
Other collaboration options include enterprise labs or centers. Here, companies have the opportunity to work methodically on strategic innovation topics outside their own corporate structures – beyond just optimizing existing technologies and processes. The focus is always on creating value in the future through the interaction of the various players with forward-looking production, automation, and information technologies.
