The Technology Transfer Center (TTZ) Upper Franconia: Digital Intelligence strengthens SMEs
through applied research in the district of Lichtenfels. At the TTZ, practical solutions in
automation, new materials, production processes and AI for engineering and
production are developed and implemented in cooperation with regional companies. State-of-the-art technologies such as robotics, process sensor technology, digital twins and data-based
analysis methods are incorporated into the process
. In addition, the transfer project InAdditiv expands the range of services
to include digitalization and automation in additive manufacturing, including energy-efficient
processes, AI-supported monitoring and a practical technology demonstrator.
Companies benefit from research and development services, consulting,
workshops, training and access to modern laboratory and software infrastructure.
