Sustainable Production – a Profitable Business Case

There are people who see “sustainability” as nothing more than a buzzword – sometimes with negative connotations attached. Behind it, however, is a concept that is having an increasing impact in a variety of ways. The fact is that politicians and legislators are putting companies and their investors under more and more pressure, to get them to...

The EDAG lighting laboratory - for extra-wide designs

Exterior lighting has taken on a new significance in modern vehicle construction. Decorative design elements are used as well as innovative signal lights. However, conventional measuring and test systems are not set up for lighting systems across the entire width of the vehicle. The EDAG lighting laboratory sets new standards here. Not least due...

Vehicle IT without latency problems

Modern vehicles are rapidly developing into rolling computers – more and more features are based on software. The more complex such "software-defined vehicles" (SDV) become, the more difficult it is to keep the timing under control and avoid excessive latencies ("dead times"). The toolchain developed by EDAG and INCHRON allows the calculation of...

Passive safety and individualization through additive manufacturing

Using the example of a transparent A-pillar and a motorcycle handlebar with structure-integrated cables, EDAG has researched how passive safety can be increased and individualization and greater freedom in component design can be achieved with the help of additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly more...

Why children need special protection measures in the car and what we offer for them

Children are not small adults - this sentence is especially true when it comes to car safety. The anatomical and physiological differences to adults require special protective measures to minimize the risk of injury in road accidents for children too. A child's head is larger and heavier in relation to its body, while the neck muscles and skeleton...

Digital - Digital twin - Industrial Metaverse

Industry 4.0 has taken digitalization and networking in manufacturing to a new level. The digital twin makes it possible to aggregate information about machines, systems and production processes across all stages of the life cycle. The next logical step is the integration of data from all areas in order to link the real and digital worlds - to...

From DNA to the drivetrain

What if the design of an electric drivetrain no longer consisted of , a motor, a gearbox and a housing as well as the battery - but simply defined the path to the desired solution? The DNA as a "construction manual" for a generative development process pays off in particular when there is a large number of options to choose from or different...
