The challenge
Fast and flexible logistics that can cope with the diverse challenges of the present is of central importance for the security of supply of people and industries. On the way to fully flexible logistics, autonomous systems are essential. However, for companies in particular, the agile development of these systems (on an industrial scale) is associated with major challenges. For example, the technologies available on the market are hardly affordable for companies. In addition, the development of these systems is particularly time-consuming and cost-intensive. In addition, there is often a lack of personnel with the necessary expertise.
The Key - PACE Lab
The PACE Lab, located at Fraunhofer-IML, offers a worldwide unique research environment of highly accurate positioning and industrial environment. The word PACE stands for Positioning Accuracy Communication Evaluation. The PACE Lab offers the optimal experimental environment for novel developments in an industrial context on approximately 1000 square meters. In addition to the agile development of autonomous systems, the Lab offers companies from the industrial sector a reference system for testing sensor technology, localization systems, communication systems, mobile robots and drones as well as human-technology interactions.
