Thematic Areas
Within SPARK, research and education is carried out in five thematic areas. Each area represents different needs that have to be met to make today’s industrial operations more knowledge intensive.
Integrated development of products and production
Quick and efficient introductions of new and unique products will be the hallmarks of tomorrow’s manufacturing companies. Knowledge and methods for integrating the development of products and production systems are necessary for increasing both the speed with which new technology is introduced and the ability to manage costs, change and complexity.
