Project with Uptime Engineering
Company:
Participating institute:
- Institute of Software Technology
Funding programme:
- FFG
BRIDGE Early Stage
- SFG
Voraus!Denken Smart Production
Project content and result:
In a 3-year FFG basic research project, a data interpretation unit for maintenance of wind power generators was developed. An applied R&D project funded by SFG has already been started.
This project is about predictive maintenance – specifically, about identifying causes of failure in wind power generators on the basis of existing data. The combination of in-house know-how and outside competence from TU Graz was essential for solving this question.

New engineering solution for cable-guided, moveable sun sails, which TRS is already manufacturing successfully.
Project with Team Styria
Company:
- Team Styria GmbH
integrative Styrian company in the manufacturing sector
Participating institutes:
- Institute of Industrial Management and Innovation Research of TU Graz
- Institute of Logistics Engineering of TU Graz
Project content and result:
2 related Diploms thesis projects on sustainable optimisation of materials logistics were done: the proposals were then implemented for the metal processing division.
2 parallel diploma thesis projects for sustainable optimization of the company’s material management were carried out: the proposals were first implemented in the field of metal manufacturing, now the materials management concept is being implemented very successfully in all productive areas at all locations.
