Fraunhofer IEM
What does the future of engineering look like? Fraunhofer IEM in Paderborn works on convincing solutions to this question, covering the business idea, implementation, and market success stages in the process. Through it all, the focus is on intelligent products, production systems, services, and software applications. Scientists take an interdisciplinary approach to working on new methods, tools, and processes – and use innovative technologies to ensure the long-term competitiveness of customers and partners.
The foundations of successful technical systems are rooted in holistic development. Fraunhofer IEM supports companies of all sizes in bringing interdisciplinary engineering into practice. From customized product development and long-term concepts for model-based and secure engineering to the implementation of future digital visions such as Industry 4.0, the work of Fraunhofer IEM is based on six core competencies: intelligent technical systems, digital transformation, systems engineering, virtualization and modeling, IT security, and software engineering.
