A window on the production operations of tomorrow
This year at EMO Hannover, a big focus will be on exploring new approaches for strengthening mutual feedback between the academic and business communities.In line with the EMO’s motto of ‘Connecting systems for intelligent production’, the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW) is organising the Industry 4.0 special show area, on which Fraunhofer and university-affiliated research institutes of the German Academic...
Project aims to provide large-scale hydrogen technology
A project sponsored by the Federal Government and the state of Saxony-Anhalt, HYPOS, is a network of companies and research institutions based in Halle (Saale) in the German federal state of Saxony-Anhalt. It studies the use of power from renewable energies for the production of hydrogen. The aim is to become less dependent on petroleum and other fossil energy sources. The chemical process is not new. HYPOS is working with its 114 members, includ...
Interaction components for contactless human-machine operation
Presenting its gesture control expertise, the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI will be at this year’s HANNOVER MESSE trade fair.At the Fraunhofer booth C22 in hall 2, the institute is presenting the EASY COHMO project (ergonomics assistance systems for contactless human-machine operation) aimed at overcoming the problems of human-robot interaction and cooperation.

Project to develop mass market UV LEDs for disinfection
Eco-friendly purification of water – UV light is already being used to kill water-borne germs but the light sources used for this purpose are still predominantly mercury vapor lamps. UV LEDs have so far proved unattractive for reasons of cost. The aim of the UNIQUE project funded by the Bavarian Ministry for Economic Affairs, Media, Energy and Technology is therefore to develop high-power UV LEDs for industrial use.

Workshops on Optical Technologies at LASER World of PHOTONICS 2017
High power optical fibres are posing particular challenges on interconnection technology. A workshop organised by AMS Technologies on 27th June 2017 at the LASER World of PHOTONICS 2017 trade fair in Munich, Germany, will take a detailed look into these challenges and the best strategies to master them.
OLED production facility developed in China
The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam and three other German companies have been commissioned by a Chinese producer to develop an OLED production facility for its site in China. The four development partners have formed the consortium GOTA - German OLED Technology Alliance – in order to develop, under one roof, the materials and technologies needed for printed electronics and machine engineering.
