Who we are and what makes us special
As a training centre for industrial engineers, we have been combining the fields of business, engineering and IT / digitalisation to provide an interdisciplinary education with a future since 1995. As one of the oldest institutes at FH JOANNEUM, we stand for extensive expertise, practical learning and the use of state-of-the-art technologies.
Research and development
The Institute of Industrial Management is dedicated to researching and organising the entire (industrial) value chain. The focus is on future-oriented approaches such as the integration of new technologies, the optimisation of processes on the shop floor, Industry 5.0 and the core topics of sustainability, people and resilience. The aim is to make companies fit for future challenges through innovative approaches. The research work is divided into five specialised groups:
- Work of the future: Designing modern working environments that focus on people and make optimum use of the potential of digitalisation and automation.
- Controlling and service engineering: Development of efficient control mechanisms and innovative services to support decision-making and business processes.
- Digital Shopfloor Analytics: Use of data analytics and digital technologies to optimise production processes and quality management on the shopfloor.
- ERP & MES Systems: Research into integrated company and production systems to promote efficient and automated processes.
- Supply Chain Management: Development of sustainable, resilient and high-performance supply chains to ensure competitiveness.
With these focal points, the institute makes a decisive contribution to shaping a future-proof, sustainable and technologically leading industry.
