As an institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we tailor our work to fit the needs and requirements of our customers and partners. With its market orientation and high real-world value, our R & D helps to sharpen their long-term competitive edge. We develop forward-looking novel solutions and modernize, optimize and upgrade existing technologies and applications. At Fraunhofer IPK, we are realizing the vision of a complete digitalization of product development and planning processes – so that you as a manufacturer or user can consider the later phases of your product's life cycle at an early stage. In Digital Engineering, we are advancing innovative solutions along the dimensions of intelligent integration, to design individually and efficiently adapted and interoperable IT systems landscapes, sustainable product ecosystems, to consider, model and assess global interconnections of systems and their environment, as well as the extended reality, to create interactive, user-centered immersive environments in an engineering metaverse.
