Conferences and exhibitions

As a scientific partner of the conference on the subject of plasma and vacuum technology for surface finishing the Fraunhofer IST is taking part in this year's conference as part of the Digital workshop on the subject “Vom Messwert zum Digitalen Zwilling“ (Engl.: “From measured value to digital twin“). Dr. Andreas Pflug, head of the Simulation group at the Fraunhofer IST is organizing the Digital workshop:

The competitive pressure towards higher productivity with simultaneously better precision and increasing complexity of coating products requires improved coating processes, model-based process control and an overall view of the process chain with regard to efficiency and environmental footprint. This requires, on the one hand, a systematic acquisition of the data generated in the process and, on the other hand, a representation of processes and coating products by real-time capable digital twins. The Digital Workshop will cover multiscale simulation of coating processes, automated process data processing, approaches to integrating digital twins for the purpose of process optimization and model- and data-based process control, and consideration of entire process chains in terms of efficiency and environmental compatibility.
