Success stories - examples of successful IFIM industry projects
Industrial partner: AGATEC, Le Mesnil-le-Roi, France
A calibration method was developed for a new portable tilt and height control system for excavators. On the one hand, this allows the system to be commissioned quickly and easily, but at the same time permits a very high level of accuracy during operation.
Calculation of optical freeform surfaces
Industrial partner: Hella GmbH & Co. KGaA, Lippstadt, Germany
In today's automotive lighting systems, the optical surfaces (reflectors, lenses) are increasingly being realised by so-called free-form surfaces in order to generate the complex light distributions required for the various lighting functions. In this project, a novel mathematical method for calculating such free-form optical surfaces was developed in order to realise innovative lighting functions.

Due to their widespread use and popularity, electronic cash machines are a popular target for both external attacks and attacks by insiders. The aim of this project was to secure the communication channels between the individual components of the ATM in order to prevent attacks by insiders.

Content: Using modern methods of multi-objective optimisation, an intelligent cruise control was developed for autonomously driving electric vehicles. This makes it possible to choose an optimum compromise between fast and energy-efficient driving. If the general conditions change during the journey, the driver can adjust the priority of the individual destinations almost continuously.(PDF)
