The research focus of the Chair of Smart System Integration at Chemnitz University of Technology lies in the development and application of micro- and nanotechnologies in the fields of microelectronics, microsystems technology, and system integration. As a technological basis, they use the state-of-the-art cleanrooms of the Center for Microtechnologies (ZfM), which are equipped for mask fabrication, silicon processing, and characterization.
In close cooperation with other chairs of the Center for Microtechnologies as well as the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS, they apply these technologies to develop innovative micro- and nanosystems and to manufacture prototypes. Development activities take place within regional, national, and international research projects as well as through direct contracts in collaboration with industry partners.
The educational programs are distinguished by excellent quality and are significantly shaped by the research activities at the Center for Microtechnologies (ZfM) and the cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS.
The team at the Chair of Ergonomics and Innovation Management at Chemnitz University of Technology conducts intensive research on human-technology interfaces in the working and living environments of tomorrow. The focus is on designing solutions that meet the requirements of future users right from the start.
The goal of the research is to develop scientifically sound methods and tools for the design of innovative human-technology interfaces. Driving the development of application-oriented solutions that are both innovative and widely accepted is central to this work.
Current research activities, carried out in cooperation with partners from science and industry, are particularly focused on the following areas:
Modern occupational health and safety as the foundation of ergonomics research.
Competence Engineering for adaptive competence development: development and testing of training and continuing education programs that can be accessed via various devices and integrated into work processes, enabling individual development.
Product Engineering for user-centered product design: method-based approaches for designing usable products and services with the aim of improving user experience and quality.
Industrial Engineering for ergonomic process design: development of human-centered workplaces and systems in light of demographic change and technological advancements within the framework of Industry 4.0.
The Institute for Management and Information (IMI) serves to focus and further develop the teaching, continuing education, and research capacities of the Faculty of Business and Economics at West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau in the areas of management and information processing.
Companies are increasingly forced by intensified competitive conditions to quickly adapt their goals to new market situations. The implementation of these goals takes place through business processes. The qualitative and quantitative realization of such processes is only possible with supportive management processes and adapted information systems. In practice, however, many cases can be observed in which the control of business processes fails either due to deficient management processes or poorly designed and implemented information systems.
The complex interaction between the design of management processes on the one hand and the design of information processes and systems on the other requires targeted collaboration and the development of robust tools that sustainably improve the success of implemented business processes and reduce the risk of failure in process reorganization projects. Investigating these interactions and developing practical and robust instruments is an explicit research focus of the institute.
Another core area of IMI is the design of the Master's programs "Management & Systems Intelligence" and "International Management," in particular through stronger cooperation between the university and industry in the field of management as well as in the design and application of information and information systems in companies. This ensures a consistently high quality of education and enables applied research at an advanced level.
