Thanks to the possibility of flexible intralogistics, components can be transported autonomously between machines within production.

ILT Institute for Laboratory Automation and Mechatronics has developed a special machine for the production of braces in cooperation with bestsmile, the Swiss market leader for dental corrections. Through this digitalisation, bestsmile now produces in larger volumes and works even more efficiently.

Development of a measuring system to predict a possible failure of plant components in sorting logistics (predictive maintenance).

Energy saving, system diagnosis and advanced control strategy in the heating burner application through the use of a real-time simulation of the pump system.

Novel assembly process for microfluidic components for the analysis of small sample volumes in diagnostics and pharmaceutics.

We support companies in the evaluation and implementation of collaborative robotics solutions. Our competences include the design of automated robotic systems, simulation and programming of collaborative robots (CoBots) as well as image processing and human-machine interface.

Automated extraction system for the analysis of dried matrix spots (DBS) on filter paper cards.

The ILT and other institutes of the OST are currently working on the construction of a Smart Factory in the new Techpark. One highlight will be the fully automated production cell for customised floorballs.

3D printer with multiple print heads designed for the architecture and construction industry.

Process station for detaching photovoltaic cells from the carrier film for subsequent processing for applying the solar elements to textiles.

Cost-effective, cascadable linear drive system for use in laboratory automation and similar applications.
