The Institute for Integrated Product Development (BIK) is an institute of the University of Bremen and belongs to the Department of Production Engineering. The Head of the institute is Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus-Dieter Thoben. Besides teaching the institute is highly involved in application orientated research. We offer lectures in "Engineering Drawing, Machine Elements, Design Engineering and Computer Aided Modelling" for students of the degree programmes "System Engineering, Production Engineering and Industrial Engineering". Our research expertise is concentrated on the development of products constructed by renewable resources, glass fibre or carbon fibre materials. The main focus lies on the automatic positioning, draping and cutting of the textile fibres. Adjustment and cutting of the fibres is performed by the support of robots programmed with a predefined cutting and positioning plan.

Offshore wind already provides a substantial part of the energy mix ⚡ today. In order to further reduce the installation costs 💲, the installation process in particular should be improved. The installation of the blades is the greatest challenge. Relative movements between the nacelle and the blade root make the installation difficult. If the relative movement exceeds a certain threshold value, installation is no longer possible and there is an expensive delay. Based on measurement data 📊 that was recorded during the installation of a wind farm in the North Sea, correlations between environmental variables, such as wind speed, and accelerations of the tower, nacelle and blade are to be recognized by means of machine learning 🤖 methods. In a software engineering project, a web app is to be developed which, based on recorded data, outputs correlations so that engineers can then use these results for a better understanding of single sheet assembly and its environmental conditions.
