The answers to these and many more questions are found at SF-KL. By contributing to national and international research projects, scientists from DFKI (IFS), RPTU Kaiserslautern (WSKL), and SmartFactoryKL stay updated on all the latest technological developments in this field. Knowledge routinely flows into our Production Level 4 Demonstrator ecosystem and, through the medium of our working groups, back to the member companies.
Industry associations, companies, and public sector officials repeatedly emphasize the role that SmartFactoryKL plays in creating the production systems of tomorrow.
Our approach is unique in combining practical production issues with the latest advances in scientific research. We come up with application-oriented answers and innovative practical solutions that can be readily implemented on the shop floor.
Our exhibits are among the highlights in Hall 8 at the Hannover Messe and have been for several years. We are at home on the Industrie 4.0 Conference Stage and our guided tours of selected companies have been popular at the world’s leading industry fair since 2023.
