INCUBATOR SMART SYSTEMS

Smart products for the future

The Smart Systems Incubator promotes the development of smart system solutions

They park cars autonomously and optimise production processes: Smart systems collect and analyse data, make predictions and intelligent decisions. They are a central component of Industry 4.0, which refers to the networking and digital exchange of data between machines and people in real time.

Would you like to know if your idea for a smart project has potential or how you can implement it? The Smart Systems Incubator at the Chair of Manufacturing Systems at Ruhr-Universität Bochum advises and guides you throughout the entire start-up process. The close collaboration with the RUB/IGM Centre of Cooperation guarantees real-world relevance and a holistic approach: the advisory process involves not only technical expertise, but also matters of work organisation and design.
