The WallBot Shows Its Capabilities
On September 16, we participated in the Open Construction Site Day for the future Construction Technology Center in Hoyerswerda. There, the WallBot demonstrated its capabilities live. We are developing this construction robotics system together with the Chair of Construction Machinery at TU Dresden. Its purpose is to relieve skilled workers, not replace them. As soon […]
BI Dashboards in Practice: Greater Transparency Through ProjektOr
Establishing a Decision Support System As part of the PerspektiveArbeit Lausitz (PAL) initiative, there is a joint project between Grötschel GmbH and TU Dresden, and we are addressing the question of how company data can be processed more efficiently and made usable for well-founded decisions. The starting point was a concrete practical problem: Important information […]
Construction robotics system for automated bricklaying
Our construction robot for precision blocks While robots are increasingly replacing human labor in many industrial sectors, the use of robot-assisted manufacturing systems in construction has so far been very limited. Building construction in particular is characterized by a high proportion of manual and craft-based activities. Rising labor costs and a shortage of skilled workers […]
Workplace frustration? We need to change that! WBO.
Work Based Organizing (WBO)—organizing aligned with specific work activities—is particularly relevant today. It helps companies respond flexibly and adaptively to intensified value creation conditions and transformation challenges, such as digitalization, the shortage of skilled labor, increasing psychosocial stress, and new forms of work. In this project, we aim to work with our scientific partners to […]
BiPwalz – Production of bipolar plates for fuel cells by laser-assisted hollow embossing rolling
The success of the CO2-neutral hydrogen economy depends largely on the production capacities and costs for fuel cells and electrolyzers. Metallic bipolar plates (BiP) account for 70-80% of the manufacturing costs of a fuel cell stack. As part of the joint project, a novel, continuous process combination for the forming of metallic bipolar plates is […]
Innovation Grant for PEM Fuel Cell Integration
The objective of this project is to conduct a feasibility study for the integration of any PEM-based fuel cell system into a highly portable emergency power supply unit. A particularly relevant aspect of this project is to develop a solution that meets all safety requirements and achieves the greatest possible modularity to cover almost any […]
Making district heating fit for the future – Efficiency meets innovation
District heating networks make a significant contribution to the efficient use of energy resources and are to be expanded at an accelerated pace. The approximately 350 companies in Germany that are expanding and maintaining the district heating network cannot even begin to meet the demand. The annual growth rates of over 9% can only be […]
HyStPower10 – Our 10 kW Hydrogen Modular System
In the HyStPower10 research project, we aim to develop a system concept for decentralized hydrogen production, storage, and reconversion with our strategic partners. Photovoltaic and wind power plants from 30kWp to 300kWp serve as a use case, which have to be switched off during excess electricity periods or for whose electricity feed-in high fees have […]
Project launch of hydrogen emergency power supply unit
In the research project HZwo:Kompressor, we are developing a hydrogen emergency power supply unit together with the Professorship for Alternative Vehicle Drives and the Professorship for Lightweight Structures and Plastics Processing at Chemnitz University of Technology, the ICM e.V., µ-Tec GmbH and CCM GmbH. The technological core is a state-of-the-art, oil-free and powerful rotary vane […]
Completion of the 3DHyBeBe cooperation project
With the successful completion of the 3DHyBeBe innovation project, Grötschel GmbH has reached another milestone in the development of automated manufacturing solutions for carbon fiber-based reinforcement systems.
