To make production more appropriate for the material, economical and energy-efficient, integrated automated processes are developed and tested at the Handling Competence Center. These processes range from the material supply of the technical textiles through to final rotor blade assembly. The main focus is on the technologically complex issues associated with the handling of flexible materials for the production of fiber-reinforced composites. This is enabled by combining intelligent, flexible automation technology, adaptive material handling and innovative sensor and information technology.
