ENSYTEC GmbH
ENSYTEC GmbH is a medium-sized company based in North Rhine-Westphalia, specializing in the development and delivery of customized testing and inspection systems as well as comprehensive engineering services for machinery and plant construction. Its range of services covers everything from design and assembly to the commissioning of complex systems.
ENSYTEC supports clients across various industries – including rail vehicle, steel and crane construction, as well as climate and ventilation technology – using state-of-the-art hardware and software to ensure the highest quality standards. At the core of its philosophy is a trusted partnership built on enthusiasm, reliability, and adherence to deadlines. Through innovative solutions and sustainable processes, ENSYTEC helps implement projects efficiently and with a future-oriented approach.
As part of the SAMIRA2.0 research project, ENSYTEC GmbH is responsible for key development tasks to integrate the SAMIRAmobil sensor module into railway operations. This includes the design of a rail-compliant housing that meets the stringent requirements for safety, durability, and weather resistance in rail transport.
In addition, ENSYTEC is developing the power supply system for the sensor module to ensure reliable and autonomous energy provision under varying operating conditions. Another focus is the development of a universal mounting system that enables flexible and secure installation of the sensor module on all common wagon types.
With these solutions, ENSYTEC makes a significant contribution to ensuring the practical applicability and efficiency of the SAMIRA2.0 system in real-world railway operations.
Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT
The Fraunhofer IPT creates system solutions for the networked, adaptive production of sustainable and resource-saving products and related services. Our focus lies in the areas of process technology, production machines, production quality and metrology, and technology management, and ranges from fundamental principles up to the digital transformation of production.
We develop and optimize new and existing methods, technologies and processes for the production of the future. In this context, we understand production not only in its individual steps, but in the entirety of all processes and connections between the links of the process chain. In this way, we develop both highly specialized individual technologies and networked system solutions for production on behalf of our customers.
The Fraunhofer IPT's clients and cooperation partners come from the entire manufacturing industry: from aviation and space technology, the energy sector, automotive engineering and its suppliers in lightweight production or tool and mold making, machine tools, precision engineering and the optical industry, as well as medical technology, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
Currently, around 535 employees work at the Fraunhofer IPT. In Aachen, we have a total area of 9000 m² at our disposal. Of this, around 5000 m² is used as laboratories and machine halls.
Through the Fraunhofer Center for Manufacturing Innovation CMI in Boston, USA, we also offer our customers sustainable technology transfer between European and American industry.
