Die Werkzeugbau Akademie greift auf die Expertise und das gebündelte Know-how der RWTH Aachen und der Fraunhofer-Institute zu Branchenthemen technologischer und organisatorischer Art zurück. Eine hohe Praxisrelevanz von Weiterbildungsaktivitäten sichert die enge Verzahnung mit führenden Unternehmen der Branche in zahlreichen interdisziplinären Industrieprojekten. Einen Schwerpunkt der Aktivitäten stellt die Weiterbildung von Nachwuchs- und Führungskräften mit speziell aufbereitetem Branchenwissen unter Nutzung moderner Weiterbildungskonzepte dar. Die direkte Anwendung des erlernten Wissens in Fallstudien bzw. im Demonstrationswerkzeugbau ermöglicht einen hohen Praxisnutzen.

Das Ziel, profitabel zu produzieren, ist die Grundlage jeder unternehmerischen Entscheidung. Effizienz, Leistungsfähigkeit, Verfügbarkeit und Präzision – das sind nur einige der wichtigsten Anforderungen an die industrielle Produktionsumgebung. Leistungsfähige Produktionsmaschinen sind die Voraussetzung für eine wettbewerbsfähige Produktion.
Die Seminare aus dem Bereich Werkzeugmaschinen vermitteln Methoden, Erkenntnisse und Best Practices zur Berechnung und Optimierung von Werkzeugmaschinen und Handhabungssystemen sowie deren Komponenten, zur messtechnischen Untersuchung und Beurteilung von Produktionssystemen, zur Antriebstechnik, zu NC-, RC- und SPS-Steuerungen, Prozessüberwachung und Maschinendiagnose, Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion, Leittechnik und Automatisierung.

Unser Lehrstuhl arbeitet und forscht an der Industrialisierung betrieblicher Prozesse in der Produktionstechnik. Unter Industrialisierung verstehen wir die Erhebung relevanter und objektiver Daten und ihre Rückführung und Ausnutzung im betrieblichen Kontext von Regelkreisen. Die erste Aufgabe löst die Messtechnik, während die Schaffung geeigneter Strukturen das Qualitätsmanagement wahrnimmt. Ziel ist die Schaffung fähiger Prozesse mit vorhersagbaren Ergebnissen in definierter Zeit.

Produktplanung nimmt einen hohen Stellenwert im Forschungsbereich der Produktionssystematik ein. Hierzu gehören Kernthemen wie integrierte Produkt- und Prozessgestaltung, kooperative Wertschöpfung, Unternehmensmodellierung und Systemauswahl. Für den Erfolg produzierender Unternehmen ist eine
nachhaltige Produktionsstrategie und deren konsequente Umsetzung entscheidend. Hierzu ist es wichtig, einen hohen Deckungsgrad zwischen den Möglichkeiten der Produktion und dem Marktbedarf zu erzielen. Eben hier setzt die Produktionssystematik mit dem Ziel an, den Nutzen der Produktion sachlich zu bewerten und strukturiert zu gestalten. Somit sind Themen des Innovationsmanagements ebenso Kernstück der Produktionssystematik wie Komplexitäts- und Entwicklungsmanagement sowie ein entsprechend strukturiertes Produktionsmanagement, dass sich Fragen nach dem richtigen Prozessmanagement, globalisierter Produktion und entsprechender Produktionslogistik stellt.
