Factory Lab FH Wiener Neustadt
The FHWN Factory Lab consists of a production line based on a FESTO Didactics system, which simulates a semi-automated production process from goods receipt, manufacturing, assembly, storage to goods issue. The system consists of real-world, industry-typical technical components such as light and induction sensors, RFID read and write heads (TURCK), intelligent 3D camera systems (SICK), pneumatic and electric linear and circular drives (FESTO), a handling robot (MITSUBISHI), various conveyor and handling technology, programmable logic controllers (SIEMENS), communication network based on PROFINET and simulation software (CIROS).

Education
The Factory Lab can serve as a demonstration factory in training and can be used for problem-based learning, e.g. for learning production planning and control principles, the learning of principles of industrial automation and data processing, the development of intelligent automation solutions. We offer guided tours and workshops to learn basics of production control, automation and data processing.

Research
The research focus is on development, simulation and application of mathematical methods and artificial intelligence methods in order scheduling and control, automation of order scheduling and control and related subsystems like automated material stock and transport control, quality control, progress control, worker assistance, information visualization.

Industry cooperation
We cooperate with industrial automation solution providers, e.g. FESTO and SICK, in :
• Test, evaluation, development of inline sensor and camera systems for workpiece recognition and tracking
• Development of automation solutions, e.g. LC programming, intelligent sensor systems
• Simulation of material flows of production processes, evaluation of impact of different methods and technology on process performance measures, e.g. lead time, work in progress, OEE, etc.
