MINIS
The cooperation project "MINIS" of the chairs of Industrial Information Management (IIM) and Corporate Logistics (LFO) as well as the Institute of Transport Logistics (ITL) aims at creating a miniaturized production and logistics system based on 3D printing, LEGO® Serious Play and Fischer Technik as a demonstrator for teaching and research purposes. In the process, students have the opportunity to design, construct and manufacture the elements of the miniaturized system themselves.

Involved chairs
MINIS is a cooperation project of several chairs of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering:
Sections of the MINIS project
The MINIS project is divided into 4 areas, which are all related to each other and merge into each other. Together they form the MINIS Factory, which acts as a demonstrator for a modern production and logistics system based on the model of a smart factory.
CrossLab
MINIS is one of ten projects funded as part of the CROSSLAB project. This is a project funded by the Foundation Innovation in der Hochschullehre to set up cross-reality labs and, in addition to the technical and organizational preparation, also provides didactic added value for students (More information about the CrossLab projects can be found here).
In the course of the Crosslabs project, the MINIS learning factory is designed as a remote laboratory and made accessible to students. This will give them the opportunity to continue to have access to the MINIS environment in times of volatile personal proximity and thus also to carry out their analyses and simulations on the physical exhibit without being tied to a specific location.
Furthermore, the successive integration of the remote lab into courses of the participating chairs is planned.
Calls for tender
In the course of MINIS, project, bachelor's and master's theses are continuously advertised for the fields of mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and logistics. Students have the opportunity to work on practical projects in the fields of production and logistics, digitalization, Industry 4.0 and simulation. In doing so, they have the opportunity to advance the developments of the project and are actively involved in the project.
