Springer Production at the Leading Edge of Technology: Proceedings of the 11th Congress of the German Academic Association for Production Technology (WGP), ... (Lecture Notes in Production Engineering)

Product Description This congress proceedings provides recent research on leading-edge manufacturing processes. The aim of this scientific congress is to work out diverse individual solutions of "production at the leading edge of technology" and transferable methodological approaches. In addition, guest speakers with different backgrounds will give the congress participants food for thoughts, interpretations, views and suggestions. The manufacturing industry is currently undergoing a profound structural change, which on the one hand produces innovative solutions through the use of high-performance communication and information technology, and on the other hand is driven by new requirements for goods, especially in the mobility and energy sector. With the social discourse on how we should live and act primarily according to guidelines of sustainability, structural change is gaining increasing dynamic. It is essential to translate politically specified sustainability goals into socially accepted and marketable technical solutions. Production research is meeting this challenge and will make important contributions and provide innovative solutions from different perspectives.

Bernd-Arno Behrens studied Mechanical Engineering at the Leibniz University of Hannover and received his doctorate in 1997 in the field of solid forming. Subsequently, he took over a leading position in industry. Since October 2003 he heads the Institute for Forming Technology and Machines. In addition, he is spokesman of the board of the Material Testing Institute for Materials and Production Technology (MPA) in Hannover since 2004. In 2005 he also assumed the function of managing partner of IPH - Institut für Integrierte Produktion + Hannover gemeinnützige GmbH. He is among others, speaker of the Collaborative Research Center 1153 "Tailored Forming", as well as member of the SFB 653 and location speaker of the TR73. He is a member of the Scientific Council of the AIF, he leads the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Umformtechnik in Germany. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Brosius studied Mechanical Engineering at the Technische Fachhochschule (TFH) Berlin and received his doctorate from the TU Dortmund in 2005. In 2010 he became an Assistant Professor “Modelling and Simulation in Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction” at the TU Dortmund. Since 2012, he holds the professorship for Forming Manufacturing Processes at the TU Dresden, where he also is Director of the Institute for Manufacturing Technology since October 2018. Prof. Brosius is a member of the Scientific Society for Production Technology (WGP) since 2018 and an Associate Member of the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP) since 2019.
