IWF at ETHZ Zurich has its roots in the Machine Tool Laboratory which was founded in 1939 at ETHZ Zurich. It gained over the last decades a holistic and detailed insight in the field of production while carrying out various national and international research projects with industry. The research focus at IWF is on production systems and their processes. Within this view, data models and knowledge representations are subject to current research performed at IWF. In addition, commercial and self-developed simulation tools are used for modelling, analyzing and optimizing production systems and processes, e.g. rigid body simulation, thermal behaviour of machines. Furthermore, research is performed in Virtual Reality related to production, in particular on how to exploit the potential of visualization and man-machine interfaces in the context of the Virtual Factory. |
