Mobility of the future – using instead of owning with EDAG CityBot.

According to the World Economic Forum, two thirds of all people will be living in cities in 2050. In megacities with 10 million inhabitants or more. Across the globe, there are already 36 megacities, including New York, Moscow and London. This rapid growth could result in the essential infrastructure being unable to keep up, threatening cities...

Supplier assessment: 10 things about you that I hate.

"So test therefore who join forever, if heart to heart be found together. Delusion is short, remorse is long." Admittedly, this quote from Friedrich Schiller may be a little outdated, but the message it contains still hits the nail on the head. Often, partnerships have evolved over time, and have more or less worked for years. Established supplier...

Assembly system with virtual reality: Future of research projects

Digitalisation is setting new standards in all fields of industry. Without automation and robot systems, for example, the assembly of components in a modern production plant is no longer conceivable. The combination of ever shorter development cycles, increasing product complexity and an unprecedented number of variants is a challenge for many...

Modular, scalable and safe. The SCALEbat. The battery housing with philosophy.

A cell is the tiniest but most vital element in our bodies, our motor. It is exactly the same with a battery cell. It too is the smallest component in an electric vehicle’s storage battery, and therefore of the utmost importance in ensuring that all of the energy storage system’s vital functions work. This makes it the key technology in eMobility....

Human-robot collaboration - but safe!

Without robot systems, today's production applications would be unthinkable. They ensure productivity and quality, and perform heavy and dangerous tasks. Since industrial robot systems are assessed as high-risk, protection concepts are usually designed in such a way that robots and humans work separately in terms of location and/or time. A matter...

Can ASPICE be implemented efficiently and practically? We say yes.

Processes make all the difference! This also applies to the creation of software. Particularly to software - because unlike products that you can get hold of, the quality of software cannot be evaluated afterwards. In the near future, mobility without software will not be conceivable. Software provides more comfort, greater safety and controls the...

The Feynsinn team: we give digitalisation a voice.

Podcasts can be audio books, news items, guides, tutorials or interviews. According to a survey, in Germany alone, more than 7.5 million listeners use podcasting as an informative and entertaining medium, for example as a means of acquiring technical knowledge (Statista, 2019). Quick, compact, efficient and available everywhere. In 15-20 minutes....

E-laboratories – charged for a full life cycle

The battery in a modern electric car is what the tank is for a car with a combustion engine. Both determine the range of the vehicle, although the range of an electric vehicle still comes nowhere near that of a conventional powertrain. To increase the capacity of the energy storage systems and create greater range, OEMs are therefore constantly...

Agility in automotive? A project accelerator in hard- and software projects

When a group of software developers met in America in 2001, probably none of them suspected that they would have a great influence on the software industry with their "Agile Manifesto" and the 4 values and 12 principles that emerged from this meeting. These are still valid today. For the developers of the EDAG Group, too. At trive.me we are...

The VR Paintshop - Good Paint is not down to good luck

It is believed that the Chinese discovered the technique of lacquering 7,500 years ago. In fact, the oldest surviving recipe for a lacquer dates from the 12th century, and was composed of linseed oil to act as the bonding agent and sandarac as the pigment. Paints and varnishes have always fascinated the human race. They were used to embellish...
