Center for Lightweight-Production-Technology

ZLP Augsburg

At the ZLP site in Augsburg, which is also the Automation and Quality Assurance Department in Production Technology at the Institute of Construction and Structural Technology, science and industry are working together to develop new processes to make it easier for innovations to find their way into industrial implementation.

ZLP Stade

At the ZLP site in Stade, which also represents the Production Technologies department of the Institute of Lightweight Systems Engineering, science and industry are working together to develop new processes in order to better prepare innovations for industrial implementation.

Research groups ZLP Augsburg

Research group Flexible Automation Systems

The Flexible Automation Systems group's focus on making processes and systems more flexible addresses current challenges in the field of automation for aerospace applications.

Research group Assembly and joining Technologies

How can aerospace components be assembled automatically? The Assembly and Joining Technologies group develops automated solutions for this.

Research group Production Integrated Quality Assurance

The focus of the DLR Centre for Lightweight Production Technology in Augsburg on the real-time recording of plant data during production in combination with specialised sensor systems for quality parameters that are adapted to the process means that production can be continuously monitored and readjusted in good time before rejects even occur.

Research group Processes and Automation

In the aerospace industry, new automation approaches are needed to reduce investments and increase component quality at the same time due to the comparatively low production rates and high number of variants.

Research group Technical Centre for Production Processes

The Augsburg site has a comprehensive range of machinery and qualified skilled workers. In-house production is the cornerstone of lasting, high quality.

Research groups ZLP Stade

Agile research groups

Maximising efficiency and innovation in agile research groups In an ever-changing world where the demands on research and development are constantly increasing, agile methods are increasingly becoming an indispensable tool for research groups. The ability to react flexibly to change, implement innovative ideas quickly and collaborate efficiently is crucial for success in today's dynamic research landscape.
